| Reverse description | A potato plant (Solanum tuberosum) is depicted in finely engraved relief at the centre of the field, shown with its above-ground foliage bearing leaves and small round fruits, while the root system below reveals three potato tubers in the soil — symbolising the introduction of the potato to Europe following Columbus's voyage. The plant is superimposed over a stylised cartographic globe rendered as a meridian grid, referencing the theme of the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of America. The numeral '1' appears to the left of the plant stem, and the commemorative date range '1492-1992' is inscribed in the lower right field. |
