| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a three-quarter bust of Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Berber-Umayyad military commander who led the Islamic conquest of Iberia in 711 A.D., shown wearing traditional robes and holding a sword across his lap. To his right, a detailed architectural vignette illustrates a Moorish arcade of horseshoe arches, evocative of the Great Mosque of Córdoba, symbolising the legacy of Islamic civilisation in Iberia. The inscription TARIQ IBN ZIYAD appears above the architectural motif, with THE CONQUEST OF IBERIA 711 A.D. to the right and ISLAMIC CIVILISATION along a horizontal band near the base. The arc legend EVOLUTION OF MANKIND runs along the upper field, and the denomination 1 CROWN is placed prominently at the bottom. |
