Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, specifically the landing of Columbus and his shore party on the island of Guanahani in the Bahamas. The coin's design features a depiction of Columbus and his crew members on the shore, with a ship in the background. The coin was issued in 1992, which marks the quincentennial of Columbus's voyage.
