The Silver Coin:
The Reverse and Obverse of the $10 (Ten Dollars) Silver Coin seen placed side-by-sideOn the Reverse of the $10 Silver Proof Coin is depicted Christopher Columbus, at the head of a three ship expedition (1492) landing in the Americas and being grateful that he found land, as during most of the journey, he dreaded falling off the face of the Earth and kept sitting fearfully in his cabin (as there was a misconception/wide-spread belief among the Europeans that the "Earth was Flat"). His landing place was an island in the Bahamas, known as "Guanahani".
The inscription on the lower periphery reads - "Voyagers Thirst for Discovery".
On the Obverse of the $10 Silver Proof Coin is depicted a potential Martian landing, with the possibility of a base being built on the Red Planet, for scientific research and settling a colony. One can see a Martian Rover in front of the Mars Spaceman, conducting experiments and space satellites orbiting overhead.
