| Reverse description | Three caravels of Columbus's 1492 fleet — the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María — are depicted under full sail on a rolling sea, rendered in finely detailed relief against a mirror-polished field. The flagship Santa María dominates the centre foreground, her billowing sails and pennant clearly delineated, with the smaller Niña to the left and the Pinta partially visible at the right. Seabirds in flight are scattered across the upper right field, evoking the approach to land. The curved legend COLUMBUS DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. |
