Bahamas 5 dollars Columbus Ship First Landfall PR69 PCGS silver coin 1991

The 1991 Bahamas 5 Dollars silver proof coin, certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, was issued to honor the 500th Anniversary of the Discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Struck in brilliant proof, the coin features on the obverse the regal effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the royal diadem, encircled by the inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS” and the year of issue, 1991. The reverse vividly portrays Columbus’s first landfall on October 12, 1492: the explorer and his crew stand proudly on the shore, one holding a large flag, another raising a cross, while the majestic ship sails in the background. The inscriptions “500th Anniversary of the Americas”, “October 12, 1492”, and “5 Dollars” emphasize the historic event. This coin, struck in sterling silver to the highest proof standard, commemorates one of the most significant turning points in world history — the meeting of two worlds. Certified and preserved in near-perfect condition, it makes a remarkable addition for collectors of historical and commemorative issues.
