Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1990 Dominican Republic 1 Peso (Columbus' Excellent Sample; Silver Proof Piedfort) coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Columbus, while the reverse side depicts a map of the Caribbean and a replica of the Santa Maria, the ship that Columbus used on his voyage. The coin's design is particularly noteworthy because it was created by the Dominican Republic's Central Bank to honor the country's history and cultural heritage.
