Celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the "First Landfall"
This stunning 1992 Bahamas One Dollar banknote is a must-have for history buffs and thematic collectors alike. Issued as a one-year commemorative to mark the Quincentennial (500 years) of Christopher Columbus’s 1492 arrival at San Salvador, it is widely considered one of the most artistic notes ever issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas.
Obverse (Front): Features a bold, front-facing portrait of Christopher Columbus set against a sunburst background and a compass rose. To the left, you'll find the commemorative Quincentennial logo with a Spanish Galleon and the text "First Landfall 1492."
Reverse (Back): A beautiful tribute to Bahamian nature and history. It showcases American Flamingos, Bahaman Parrots, and the White Cay Iguana. To the right, Columbus’s legendary fleet—the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María—sails across an outline map of the islands.
Special Details: Features a "Sand Dollar" see-through security design in the center.
