| Additional information |
This coin was struck to mark the 1992 quincentenary of Columbus's 1492 voyage — Spain's decade-long Quinto Centenario program produced dozens of commemorative issues between 1989 and 1992, with the Royal Mint contracting an unusually broad range of subjects across Latin American history. Bolívar and San Martín sharing a single coin reflects the famous 1822 Guayaquil meeting, where the two liberators conferred privately — no record of what was said was ever made public, and historians have argued over the substance of that conversation ever since.
