in #steemsilvergold8 years ago (edited)

Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 1992 "Columbus" graded by PCGS PR70 DCAM.

All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.

They will be presented in the order they were minted.

This coin was minted to mark the quincentenary of Columbus’ discovery of the Americas.

The obverse design of the coin features a full-length portrait of Christopher Columbus standing with a banner in his right hand and a scroll in his left.

On the reverse is a split image of the Santa Maria and the Discovery space shuttle, intended to provide a striking contrast between the explorations then and now.

That is one of the most beautiful Modern Commemoratives. The reverse depicting the old and the new was very well designed.

You are right. It is one of the most beautiful modern commemoratives.

The reverse is a perfect junction between the past and the present.
