| Reverse description | Three sailing vessels, representing the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María of Christopher Columbus's 1492 westward voyage, are depicted navigating open seas in dynamic relief. The ships are shown in profile sailing toward the left, consistent with a westward heading. A curved legend along the upper half of the field reads EN ALTA MAR RUMBO OESTE, referencing the high-seas westward course of the expedition. The mintmark and issue date 1990 appear to the right of the central design. The overall composition commemorates the quincentennial approach of Columbus's discovery of the Americas. |
