A coin with some oxides, a capsule (please, check photos).
The Fiji 5 Dollars silver coin issued in 2006 is a beautifully crafted tribute to the legendary ship Santa Maria and the era of great geographical discoveries led by Christopher Columbus. This coin celebrates one of the most iconic vessels in maritime history, symbolizing courage, exploration, and the expansion of the known world.
The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of the Santa Maria sailing across stylized ocean waves. The ship is shown with full sails, each adorned with bold crosses, while intricate rigging, masts, ropes, and flags bring the vessel to life. To the left appears a portrait of Christopher Columbus in a circular frame, emphasizing his historical role. Above the scene, the inscription “COLUMBUS · SANTA MARIA” is clearly visible, while the denomination “5 DOLLARS” is placed to the right.
The obverse presents a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing an ornate crown decorated with floral motifs and a cross. Fine details of her hairstyle, earring, and necklace are rendered with precision, surrounded by inscriptions “ELIZABETH II” and the year “2006.”
Struck in silver with a proof finish, this coin is an excellent collectible for admirers of maritime history and exploration themes.
