Reverse description Central motif depicting a stylized Pre-Columbian anthropomorphic gold figurine, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, representing the indigenous artistic heritage of the Santa Marta region. The figure wears an elaborate ceremonial headdress with fan-like projections and stands in a frontal posture with outstretched arms. The arc legend FUNDACION DE SANTA MARTA curves along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border. The fineness inscription LEY 0.900 appears in the lower central field, with the commemorative dates 1525 - 1975 disposed along the lower arc, marking the 450th anniversary of the city's founding.
