Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of the New World, which is a controversial historical event as it is widely acknowledged that Columbus did not actually discover the New World, but rather encountered indigenous peoples who had been living there for thousands of years. Despite this, the coin still holds numismatic value and is considered a collector's item.
