Bahamas 5 dollars Christopher Columbus proof silver coin 1985

The 1985 Bahamas 5 Dollars silver proof coin celebrates Christopher Columbus, one of the most influential explorers in world history. Struck in silver with flawless proof quality, it stands as a tribute to the man whose voyages opened the path between Europe and the New World. The obverse of the coin displays the national Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. At its center, the shield shows a ship sailing across waves, a conch shell and radiant sun above, and supporters — a marlin and a flamingo — symbolizing the unity of sea and land. The inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS” encircles the emblem, with the year “1985” inscribed at the bottom. The reverse features a striking portrait of Christopher Columbus, depicted in Renaissance attire with his right hand placed upon his chest, embodying determination and vision. Around him, the inscriptions “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS” and the denomination “FIVE DOLLARS” frame the design. This coin connects Bahamian history to the legacy of Columbus, who first landed in the Bahamas in 1492, changing the course of history. With its brilliant mirrored fields and frosted details, it represents both numismatic art and historical commemoration, making it an essential piece for collectors of exploration themes and certified silver proofs.
