| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of the caravel Pinta under full sail, shown three-quarter view to the right, with billowing sails and rigging rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The date 1981 appears to the upper left of the vessel, accompanied by a small mint mark symbol below it. The legend DESCUBRIMIENTO DE AMERICA curves along the upper periphery within a beaded border, commemorating Columbus's discovery of America in 1492. The name PINTA is boldly inscribed along the lower rim, identifying the specific vessel. The overall composition is dynamic and historically evocative, typical of Cuban gold commemoratives issued for the pre-quincentennial series. |
