Bahamas 10 dollars Columbus Discovers New World Ship proof silver coin 1988

The 1988 Bahamas 10 Dollars silver proof coin is dedicated to Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the New World. On the obverse, Columbus is shown standing firmly on the wooden deck of his ship, pointing towards the horizon where land has been sighted. He holds a scroll in his left hand, symbolizing the written record of his great voyage. Behind him rise the tall masts and rigging, while another ship sails in the distance, completing the dramatic maritime scene. The inscriptions around the rim read “TEN DOLLARS – SAN SALVADOR” above and “COLUMBUS DISCOVERS THE NEW WORLD – 1988” below. The reverse presents the crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a pearl necklace, with the surrounding legend “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS – ELIZABETH II.” Struck in proof silver with deep cameo contrast, this coin unites history, artistry, and national symbolism. A prestigious commemorative piece, it highlights the Bahamas as the site of Columbus’ first landfall and is highly desirable among collectors of world silver coins.
