Christopher Columbus (Santa Maria) - 2 dirham

This second value from the maritime history definitive series honors the Age of Discovery by spotlighting Christopher Columbus's flagship, the Santa Maria (Christopher Columbus / Santa Maria). The fine multi-colored illustration captures a detailed woodcut-style engraving of the historic carrack sailing rough ocean waters, under the Latin heading "Oceanica Classis". The right-hand side balances the composition with a faint, classic compass rose motif over a muted beige panel. This timeless design carries a strong message of pioneering exploration, cartographic progress, and cross-oceanic linkage.
