| Reverse description | The central field presents two supine, horizontally oriented conjoined heads rendered in a stylized allegorical composition symbolizing the encounter of the Old and New Worlds. One figure holds aloft a Latin cross while the other grasps a cornstalk, representing the cultural and agricultural exchange of 1492. The engraver's facsimile signature Pareja appears in the lower central field. The upper legend ENCUENTRO DE DOS MUNDOS arcs across the border, flanked by a decorative beaded rim, while the commemorative dates 1492 · 1992 are inscribed across the lower field. |
