| Reverse description | A portrait bust of Hatuey, the legendary Taino chieftain, is depicted in the central field, rendered in a stylized manner evoking indigenous heritage. The name HATUEY appears as a legend below the portrait, while the curved inscription V CENTENARIO arcs across the upper periphery, commemorating the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas. The dual dates 1492 and 1991 flank the commemorative legend, marking the historical span of the anniversary. A mintmark and the issue date appear to the right of the effigy. A native geometric decorative pattern borders the lower periphery near the rim. |
