This is a 3-piece lot of coins relating to Christopher Columbus and the European discovery of the New World. One of them is from Columbus' own time.
Coin 1 is a circa 1474-1504 AD billon blanca coin of Ferdinand & Isabella, the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, who financed his expeditions to the New World in the 1490s and early 1500s. Diameter: 18 mm.
Coin 2 is a United States 1893 silver Columbian Exposition commemorative half dollar. Its type is Numista-4396. While this 1893 issue is more common than the 1892 of the same type, this is a handsome About Uncirculated example.
Coin 3 is a United States 1992-S clad proof Christopher Columbus Quincentenary commemorative half dollar. Its type is Numista-24510. The San Francisco Mint struck 390,154 proofs of this type. The faint scuff marks seen in the pictures are mostly if not all on the plastic of the mint capsule, not the coin itself.
This could be an entertaining and enjoyable lot for students or teachers.
