Recently, many countries have issued coins showing Christopher Columbus. Two countries did so in the 19th century.
One was the United States. What was the other?

 I was thinking of Costa Rica. This is one of the four denominations of gold, most issued late in the 1800's. Thanks for playing! Bill |

Interesting about the various portraits of Christopher Colombus: NONE of them can be verified as a true likeness of him.

Wow! I had to look that one up!
You are quite right. It IS Columbus, but a totally different (to my eye) portrait of him.
It's just a sel_69l said. No one really knows what he looked like.
Thanks.
Now there are two winners! DCH and Andyg
