1992 Columbus Quincentenary Proof Set $5 Gold $1 Silver. FREE SHIPPING

The very first official commemorative coin produced by the U.S. Mint was the Columbian Half Dollar, in honor of the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage and issued at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition.  Coming full circle and Celebrating the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's 1492 arrival in the Americas,  this 1992 Columbus Quincentenary Commemorative Proof Set, produced by the U.S. Mint,  comprises all three commemorative coins: the Half Dollar, Silver Dollar, and the Five-Dollar Gold Piece. The Columbus Quincentenary $5 coin contains 0.2419 troy oz.   Gold   The Columbus Quincentenary $1 coin contains 0.7734 troy oz.   Silver   This numismatic collectible comes in its original U.S. Mint packaging and with its Certificate of Authenticity. Note: Commemorative coin programs are created by acts of Congress to honor a person, place, or event and are available directly from the United States Mint for a limited time, as specified by public law. Afterwards, sets such as this are available only on the secondary market, through numismatic dealers and collectors.   The Mint produced just 55,867 examples of the three-coin proof set. Individual mintages for the proof coins totaled: $5 gold piece: 79,730 (KM# 239; Numista rarity index: 79) Silver dollar: 385,241 (KM# 238; Numista rarity index: 29) Half dollar (clad): 390,154 (KM# 237; Numnista rarity index: 27) The $5 coin's obverse features a profile of Christopher Columbus facing a map of the New World, while the reverse displays the Crest of the Admiral of the Ocean Sea—an honor bestowed upon Columbus by the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon—and a map overlapping the Old World with the date 1492.  The full title-Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Viceroy and Governor of the Islands that he hath discovered in the Indies,  as well as the honorific don and, perhaps most importantly, he was awarded tenth part of all riches to be obtained from his intended voya   The front of the Silver Dollar presents Columbus at full length, a banner in his right hand, a scroll in his left, standing next to a globe atop a pedestal, his ships in the background. The reverse juxtaposes an image of the Santa Maria (and the North Star) with the U.S. Space Shuttle Discovery (and the Earth). The Half Dollar depicts Columbus at landfall on the island the native Lucayan people called Guanahani, which Columbus  re-christened by San Salvador ("Holy Savior"). He stands triumphant, his arms outstretched, his disembarking crew and a small boat behind him to his right, and a ship behind him on the left. On the reverse we see Columbus's three ships—the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria—under sail within an inner, circular border.
