| Reverse description | A square-rigged caravel under full sail is depicted in the central field, sailing before the silhouette of the Canary Islands rendered in the background. To the left of the vessel, the date '1336' records the year of Portuguese discovery of the islands, while the date '1479' to the right marks the conclusion of the Luso-Spanish dispute and the formal retrocession of the islands to Castile under the Treaty of Alcáçovas. The legend 'ILHAS CANARIAS' arcs across the centre, flanked by the two historical dates. The engraver's signature 'S. MACHADO' and the mint mark 'incm', together with the coin's issue year '1989', appear in the lower field. |
