| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the Elizabethan galleon Desire under full sail, shown in three-quarter view navigating turbulent seas against a backdrop of billowing clouds. The vessel's rigging, gun ports, and hull planking are rendered with exceptional engraving precision on the mirror-polished proof field. The dates 1592 and 1992 appear in the right field, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the ship's first sighting of the Falkland Islands. The commemorative legend 400th ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST SIGHTING curves along the lower and left periphery of the coin. |
