| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the carrack Santa María under full sail occupies the central field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof surface, with Columbus's caravels Niña and Pinta visible in the distant background at sea. Seabirds are depicted in flight above the horizon to the left. Decorative vine branches frame the scene on both sides of the coin. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' and the dollar sign '$1' appear in the upper field, while 'BELIZE 1990' is inscribed along the lower periphery, commemorating the quincentenary approach of Columbus's 1492 voyage. |
