| Reverse description | Central depiction of Henry Hudson's vessel 'Half Moon' (Halve Maen), a three-masted fluyt, sailing in the foreground upon stylised waves, set against a detailed panoramic skyline of New York City including recognisable skyscrapers in the middle ground. The commemorative legend '500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492-1992' arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination '100 DOLLARS' inscribed along the lower rim. The composition juxtaposes the historic exploration vessel with the modern metropolis it helped give rise to, commemorating the quincentenary of the European discovery of America. |
