Reverse description The central field depicts a scene commemorating the first encounter between Christopher Columbus's Spanish expedition and the indigenous Caribbean peoples in 1492. In the foreground, armored Spanish conquistadors bearing lances and banners face a group of native aborigines, rendered in a historical illustrative style. In the background, three period sailing vessels are shown at sea. The date 1990 appears in the lower central exergue.
