I acquired this Spanish coin known as "Caraba" which translates to caravel.
Caravel, a light sailing ship of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries in Europe, much-used by the Spanish and Portuguese for long voyages. Apparently developed by the Portuguese for exploring the coast of Africa, the caravel’s chief excellence lay in its capacity for sailing to windward. It was also capable of remarkable speed. Two of the three ships in which Christopher Columbus made his historic voyage in 1492 were caravels, the Niña and the Pinta. Source

Caravela de armada of João Serrão. 1502 A typical square-rigged caravel (Livro das Armadas)
Although it is not silver, the design of the coin is worth buying it.
1925 Spain 25 Centimos "Caraba"
The obverse of the coin shows a ship in waves of water. The small coin captures the movement as the caravel advances to its destination.
I just have to buy it!
The reverse has crowned 25 right in the center and centimos in the bottom with flower and leaves on both side. The marking are P.C. and S.
The coin is lovely!
