Bahamas 10 dollars Discovery of the New World Columbus Ships silver coin 1992

The 1992 Bahamas 10 Dollars silver proof coin marks the 500th Anniversary of the Discovery of the New World. The obverse showcases the three ships of Christopher Columbus’ fleet — the Santa María, Niña, and Pinta. Each vessel is rendered in striking detail, with sails, rigging, and flags, while their names are inscribed beside the ships for clear identification. Around the rim appears the bold legend “DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD – 10 DOLLARS.” The reverse presents the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right and wearing a pearl necklace, encircled by the inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS”, with the date 1992 at the bottom. Struck in proof silver with deep cameo contrast, this coin captures both the elegance of numismatic artistry and the historical magnitude of Columbus’ voyage. A special commemorative issue, it honors the Quincentennial and is highly sought after by collectors of maritime and historical coinage.
