| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed historical scene commemorating the first encounter between Christopher Columbus's expedition and the indigenous peoples of the Americas in 1492. In the foreground, a group of armored Spanish conquistadors carrying banners and spears faces a group of native Taino figures, one of whom extends a hand in greeting. Three period sailing vessels, representing Columbus's fleet, are rendered in the background on open water. The circumferential legend V CENTENARIO • ENCUENTRO CON LOS ABORIGENES • 1492-1992 runs along the rim, with the mint year 1990 inscribed in the lower exergue. |
