背面描述	A three-quarter-length portrait bust of Christopher Columbus occupies the central field, depicted in period Renaissance attire with a ruffled collar, holding a period nautical globe or map inscribed OCEANO and OCEANO ATLANT at the lower centre. A detailed rendering of a square-rigged caravel under full sail appears to the left in the middle field. The circular legend DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD arcs around the upper periphery, with the denomination 25 DOLLARS inscribed at the base, all set within a beaded border.

附加信息	Issued to mark the quincentenary of Columbus's 1492 landfall, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative programs across the Caribbean basin timed to the 1992 anniversary. The Bahamas had particular claim to the occasion — San Salvador Island, within Bahamian territory, is among the most credibly identified candidates for Columbus's first New World anchorage, though the precise landing site has been disputed by scholars for over a century. At 136 grams and 63 mm across, this is a genuinely heavy, large-format silver piece — not a token gesture. Mintage was tightly limited, and the series drew collectors more than it drew circulation.
