Aanvullende informatie

The Pinta was one of three caravels in Columbus's 1492 fleet, and contrary to popular assumption, she was not the smallest — that was the Niña. The Pinta was actually the fastest vessel of the three, and her crew first sighted land on October 12, 1492, with the lookout Rodrigo de Triana reportedly never receiving the promised reward for doing so. The Gilbert Islands, now the Republic of Kiribati, issued this piece as part of a broader maritime exploration series — a collector-focused program common among Pacific micro-states whose minting revenue supplements limited national income.
