The denomination TEN DOLLARS and the toponym SAN SALVADOR arc across the upper field, while the legend COLUMBUS DISCOVERS THE NEW WORLD curves along the lower border above the date 1988 in the exergue, all within a beaded inner circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Columbus made landfall somewhere in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492 — the exact island remains disputed, with San Salvador, Samana Cay, and Plana Cays all having serious scholarly advocates. The Bahamian government formally designated San Salvador as the site in 1926, a claim that drives the national mythology but satisfies few historians.
This issue was struck for the 1992 quincentennial run-up, part of a wave of commemorative programs coordinated across Caribbean and Latin American mints throughout the late 1980s. The .925 silver specification matches the Commonwealth standard adopted for collector issues of this period.
