Reverse description The reverse depicts a richly adorned African female figure standing to the left in the foreground, wearing traditional ceremonial dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, symbolising the African cultural heritage brought to the Americas. Behind her, a large period caravel under full sail rides stylised waves across the central and right fields, evoking the transatlantic crossings of the Age of Discovery. The Roman numeral V and the word CENTENARIO are inscribed along the upper left arc, commemorating the quincentenary of Columbus's voyage. The date 1992 appears at the lower right among the waves, while the three-line legend PRESENCIA DE AFRICA EN AMERICA is inscribed in the lower exergue, all in raised Latin characters.
