EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a token commemorating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America in 1892. Crafted from tinned copper and measuring 28 cm, this piece is a true work of art that pays homage to Christopher Columbus and his historic voyage.
On the obverse side, we see a bust of Columbus wearing a cap, his face turned three-quarter right in contemplation. The reverse side features a starboard-quarter view of the 'Santa Maria', one of the ships that sailed with Columbus on his journey to the New World.
The intricate details and craftsmanship of this token are truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creator. It serves as a reminder of an important moment in history when new lands were discovered and civilizations forever changed.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this token is not just a piece of metal but a symbol of exploration, discovery, and adventure. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and ambition, inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries and seeking out new horizons.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era filled with excitement and possibility. It reminds us that even after four centuries, the spirit of exploration still lives on within us all.
