Guinea-Bissau 20000 pesos Sailing Ship Passat Clipper PR68 PCGS silver coin 1993

The Guinea-Bissau 20000 Pesos “Passat” silver coin issued in 1993 is a beautiful maritime commemorative honoring one of the world’s most famous windjammers and the golden age of ocean sailing. Certified PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this proof silver issue captures the elegance and engineering of the legendary clipper ship Passat, celebrated for its role in long-distance commercial seafaring and international maritime history.

The obverse presents a detailed image of the majestic Passat under full sail, cutting through stylized ocean waves with towering masts, rigging, spars, and layered canvas sails spread across the ship’s impressive frame. The reflective proof background enhances the sharp engraving of the hull, ropes, sea surface, and the inscription “Passat” with the date 1993 below. The reverse displays the national emblem of Guinea-Bissau featuring a large five-pointed star above symmetrical palm fronds and a shell motif. A flowing ribbon bears the national motto “Unidade, Luta, Progresso,” surrounded by the country name and denomination.

The Passat is one of the last great four-masted steel sailing ships of the twentieth century and remains an enduring symbol of global maritime trade, navigation, and nautical craftsmanship. Coins dedicated to historic sailing vessels are especially sought after by collectors of naval history, transportation themes, and world commemoratives.

Struck in silver with a deeply mirrored proof finish and graded PCGS PR68DCAM, this coin offers exceptional contrast, brilliant eye appeal, and historical significance. An outstanding addition for collectors of ships, clipper vessels, maritime exploration, and certified world silver coins.
