Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, specifically the landing of his ship, the Santa Maria, on the island of Puerto Rico in 1492. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Santa Maria on the other.
