| 背面描述 | Christopher Columbus stands prominently in the center of the composition, planting the Spanish royal standard upon the shore of San Salvador to claim the newly discovered land, surrounded by members of his crew and a clergyman holding a cross aloft. The scene is rendered in high-relief with fine detail evoking the historical landing of 1492, set against a polished proof field. The denomination TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS appears along the upper portion of the legend, while CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS and SAN SALVADOR are inscribed within the field, and the date 1985 appears at the base of the design. |

Issued to mark the anticipated quincentennial run-up, this piece was part of a wider Bahamian programme of large-format gold issues that the Central Bank used sporadically through the 1970s and 1980s to generate hard currency revenue rather than for any domestic monetary purpose. At 407 grams of .917 gold, fewer than a handful of sovereign coin issues anywhere in the Western Hemisphere have ever exceeded it in gold content.
Columbus made his first Caribbean landfall at San Salvador — part of the modern Bahamas — on 12 October 1492, which gives the issuing authority a geographically legitimate claim few other nations could assert for a Columbus commemorative.
