Comment

During the Age of Discovery, English cartographer John Speed produced a richly-decorated map of the world, marking the voyages of famous explorers such as Columbus, Cavendish, Drake and Magellan. The Western Hemisphere of this extraordinary map is reflected in this stunning 2019 $5 Fine Silver (.999) Proof Domed Coin, a treasure that will appeal to collectors, history buffs and mapping enthusiasts.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique silver domed design, which gives the impression of a 3D globe. This design was achieved through a special minting process that involved striking the coin multiple times to create a rounded, dome-like shape. This feature adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
