Reverse description A detailed scenic composition depicts a group of Indigenous inhabitants gathered on a shoreline in the foreground, gesturing and gazing outward toward three tall-masted sailing ships visible on the sea in the middle distance, rendered in fine relief against a proof field. Seabirds fly above the horizon line, conveying the drama of the moment of first encounter. The upper legend V CENTENARIO DEL DESCUBRIMIENTO Y EVANGELIZACION DE AMERICA curves along the outer border, while the date 1988 appears at the base flanked by stars. The overall design commemorates the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas.
