EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a token commemorating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America in 1892. The obverse features a bust of the legendary explorer Christopher Columbus, wearing a cap and facing three-quarter right. On the reverse, we see a port broadside view of the 'Santa Maria' ship under sail, symbolizing Columbus's historic voyage to the New World.
Crafted from tinned copper and measuring 28 cm in diameter, this token is housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK. The intricate details on both sides pay homage to Columbus's monumental journey that changed the course of history.
The image transports us back to the early 19th century when explorers like Columbus set out into uncharted waters in search of new lands and opportunities. It serves as a reminder of human curiosity, courage, and determination to push boundaries and discover new horizons.
As we reflect on this significant moment in history through this exquisite token, we are reminded of the impact that exploration has had on shaping our world today. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and spirit of adventure that continues to drive us forward into unknown territories.
