| Reverse description | A large full-rigged sailing ship occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter view with all sails set and billowing, riding stylized waves rendered in low relief at the base of the design. The vessel is richly detailed with multiple masts, yards, and rigging consistent with a 16th-century Spanish galleon or exploration-era carrack of the type named Trinidad. The ship's name TRINIDAD arcs along the upper rim in a serif Latin script, while the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed in two lines along the lower rim, separated from the ship by a band of stylized waves. |
