Bahamas 5 dollars Columbus Memorial Ship Clipper PR69 PCGS silver coin 1982

Bahamas 5 Dollars 1982 — Columbus Memorial, silver Proof, PCGS PR69DCAM (Franklin Mint). This elegant commemorative honors the voyage that linked Europe with the New World. The obverse displays the full Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas: a shield with a sailing ship on waves beneath a rising sun, crest with conch and palm fronds atop a helmet and mantling, supporters marlin and flamingo, motto scroll “Forward, Upward, Onward Together,” beaded rim and date “1982.” The reverse is a dramatic seascape: a tall Christian cross rises on a stepped pedestal, flanked by two square-rigged ships with full sails, masts and rigging; waves lap at their hulls, while the inscription “FIVE DOLLARS” arcs above within a dotted border. Issued in the early decades of independence, the design reflects both discovery and faith central to Bahamian heritage. Struck in silver to Proof standard with deep cameo contrast and certified PCGS PR69DCAM, this near-perfect example combines artistry, history, and condition rarity — a showpiece for any world-coin cabinet.
