Silver issue

Obverse Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), discoverer of the New World. Rev. coat of arms. Pretty white .900 silver issue with even wear and nice eye appeal for the grade. Hint of gold at very rim edge. Marks are below average for grade, with a couple of very light contact scratches not much of a factor. (View image for more detail.)
