Comment
Gold with selective silver platingInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Bermuda by Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez in 1505. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of de Bermúdez's ship, the "Santa Maria", on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
