[QUOTE="byrd740, post: 545434, member: 13877"]I just wanted to share a new addition to my family. It all started with the single medal of the Santa Maria given to me by a friend. and about 4 years later a coin dealer friend of mine just gave this set to me. It is a set of (4) 24kt gold layered medallions issued by the Sociedad Estatal del Quinto Centenario in 1992 commemorationg the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus discovering the Americas. It is in a nice mahogany case that can either stand up on a desktop or hang on a wall. The coins depict Christopher Coulumbus, Queen Isabela, the Santa Maria, and one medal showing all three ships(the Santa Maria, the Nina and the Pinta). I hope everyone enjoys! I wish I could take a picture of the whole case, but I still don't have a camera, so I have to stick with scans. This is the common reverse: [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn282/byrd740/chrisrev-1.jpg[/IMG] Now here is my new additions: [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn282/byrd740/chriscol.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
