| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the three ships of Christopher Columbus — the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria — rendered in profile sailing to the right across a stylised, wave-tossed sea, with a small landmass visible at the lower right, symbolising the first sighting of the New World. The date 1492 is inscribed in the exergue beneath the scene, separated from the main field by a baseline. The upper legend reads TIERRA, TIERRA! V CENTENARIO, commemorating the fifth centenary of the Discovery of America, while the inscription 12 DE OCTUBRE 1989 records both the historic date of landfall and the year of issue. |
