| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a principal façade of the General Archive of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias) in Seville, one of the most significant Renaissance buildings in Spain and the foremost documentary repository for the history of Spain's administration in the Americas and the Pacific. The architectural rendering captures the building's classical Herreran style with precise engraving detail. The legend ENCUENTRO DE DOS MUNDOS — meaning Encounter of Two Worlds — arcs across the design, accompanied by the date 2005, the Madrid mint mark M, and the inscription ARCHIVO DE INDIAS. The composition celebrates the Archive's role in preserving over 80 million original documents spanning more than three centuries of Ibero-American history. |
