Bahamas 10 $ Christopher Columbus discovers America PR68 PCGS silver coin 1989

The 1989 Bahamas 10 Dollar silver proof coin, graded PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, is a remarkable issue dedicated to one of history’s most transformative voyages — the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. The obverse presents a striking scene: Columbus stands on the shore, holding a flag in triumph, symbolizing his arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492. Behind him, the sun rises over the ocean, a powerful metaphor for a new era in world history. The inscriptions “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS – OCTOBER 12, 1492”, “10 DOLLARS”, and the year 1989 complete the design, framed by a dotted border. On the reverse, the profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a royal crown and pearl necklace, emphasizes the Bahamas’ Commonwealth heritage. The surrounding legend reads “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS – ELIZABETH II.” Struck in proof silver, the coin shines with mirror-like brilliance and frosted reliefs. This collectible merges historical significance with numismatic beauty, making it an essential addition for collectors of world history, exploration, and Caribbean silver coins.
