Bahamas 5 dollars Christopher Columbus Discovery KM-132 PF70 NGC Ag coin 1991

The 1991 Bahamas 5 Dollars silver proof coin, graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, celebrates the 500th Anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the New World. The obverse features the intricate Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas: a shield with a ship riding the waves, surmounted by a conch shell and radiant sun, and supported by a marlin and flamingo, symbolizing the nation’s unity of sea and land. The inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS” crowns the design, with the year “1991” below. The reverse presents a dramatic image of Columbus stepping ashore, sword in his right hand and a cross-staff raised in his left, with rays of the rising sun symbolizing the dawn of a new age. Around the border, the legend reads “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS OCTOBER 12 1492,” with the denomination “5 DOLLARS” and the year “1991” inscribed below. This coin pays tribute to one of the pivotal moments in world history — the voyage that opened Europe to the Americas. Struck in proof silver with mirror-like fields and frosted relief, and certified at the ultimate grade PF70 Ultra Cameo, it is an exceptional rarity. A coin of historical importance and numismatic perfection, it stands as a centerpiece for collectors of silver proofs, discovery themes, and Columbus commemoratives.
