Modern commemorative coins are special edition coins issued by the United States Mint to honor significant historical events, individuals, or themes. The 1992 one dollar coin, struck in San Francisco, is part of a series celebrating the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America. These coins are often produced with enhanced finishes and can carry numismatic value beyond their face value, appealing to both collectors and investors.
