Santa Maria 2017 | RWF50 Rwanda | 1oz Fine Silver Coin
The inaugural release in the Nautical Ounce series pays homage to the Santa Maria, the celebrated flagship of Christopher Columbus’s 1492 expedition. Struck by the Bavarian State Mint from 1 oz of .999 fine silver, this coin depicts the carrack in full sail, framed by a stylized compass rose—capturing the spirit of adventure that defined the Age of Exploration.
The Santa Maria was a robust and dependable vessel that navigated the unknown waters of the Atlantic, ultimately bridging two worlds.

This coin serves as a tangible tribute to that pivotal moment in maritime history, offering collectors a masterful blend of historical narrative and numismatic artistry.
