| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief scene depicting the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas, rendered in a style reminiscent of classical historical engravings. Columbus is shown kneeling at centre in armour and courtly dress, flanked by members of his crew bearing large royal standards with heraldic devices; additional armed and robed figures surround him on the rocky shoreline. In the background, two period caravels ride at anchor on the open sea, with tropical foliage visible to the right. The inscription VOYAGERS THIRST FOR DISCOVERY appears in a cursive script along the lower arc of the field. |
