Picked this up on a whim, from eBay, back in 2011. Less than $10, but I really liked it.

I was surprised to learn recently that Columbia also issued a commemorative 50 centavos in 1892. I used to think that we were the only country that issued an 1892 Columbus coin.
I like this one and quite rare:
Well, just Love coins, period.
Another Rarity from Jamaica:
1975 FM Matte Uncirculated 10 Dollars
Mintage: 30. Only documented specimen
Well, just Love coins, period.
It is known that Columbus' three ships had red Christian crosses placed on the sails, either cross pattée's or similar crosses.
Sometimes the crosses appear on Columbus-related coins showing the ships and sometimes they do not.

Saw this on ebay. Sad when private 1oz rounds have better designs than coins.
