| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a finely detailed effigy of Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor, depicted in three-quarter profile bust facing right, adorned in traditional Aztec ceremonial regalia including an elaborate feathered headdress and intricately decorated garments. The figure is rendered in high relief against a plain field, enclosed within a beaded border. The upper legend reads '·QVINTO·CENTENARIO·', commemorating the fifth centennial of Columbus's voyage to the Americas, while the lower legend reads '·100000·PTAS·', with the Madrid mint mark and a floral ornament flanking the central design, engraved by Garcilaso Rollán Sánchez. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was struck to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's 1492 voyage, part of a broader Spanish state program that consumed significant mint resources throughout the early 1990s in preparation for 1992. Cuauhtémoc — the last Aztec emperor, captured and tortured by Cortés in 1521, executed in 1525 — was a pointed inclusion in a commemorative series ostensibly celebrating the conquest era, reflecting a political effort to acknowledge indigenous history rather than frame 1492 as simple triumph.
