| Reverse description | The central field depicts a richly detailed three-masted carrack or nao under full sail, evoking Columbus's fleet, rendered in fine relief with intricate rigging and furled sails. In the foreground, a small rowing boat laden with figures approaches the larger vessel, symbolizing the first landing in the Americas. Seabirds in flight appear to the upper left, enhancing the narrative composition. The circumferential legend V CENTENARIO DEL DESCUBRIMIENTO Y EVANGELIZACION DE AMERICA arcs around the periphery, with the date 1989 flanked by stars at the base of the coin. |
