A new coin.
The 1991 Bahamas 5 Dollars silver coin, graded MS70 by NGC, honors the legendary voyage of Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of the New World. The obverse of the coin proudly displays the Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. At its center, the shield bears a ship sailing across the sea, a tribute to Columbus’s arrival, while a conch shell and radiant sun crown the design above. A marlin and a flamingo stand as supporters, symbolizing the union of sea and land. The inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS” encircles the emblem, with the date “1991” positioned below. The reverse portrays Columbus himself stepping ashore, holding a sword in one hand and a raised cross-staff in the other, with the radiant sun rising behind him, signifying the dawn of a new era. Around the rim runs the inscription “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS OCTOBER 12 1492,” with the denomination “5 DOLLARS” and the year of issue “1991” at the bottom. Struck in silver with superb Mint State brilliance, this coin commemorates the 500th Anniversary of the Discovery of America, symbolizing both historical legacy and national pride. With its perfect NGC MS70 certification, it represents rarity, artistry, and flawless preservation — a highlight for collectors of world silver coins and exploration themes.
