| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing bust of Christopher Columbus dominates the right portion of the field, depicted wearing period-appropriate 15th-century attire including a broad-brimmed hat and open-collared doublet. To his left in the background, a large carrack with cross-emblazoned sails — representative of Columbus's flagship the Santa María — is rendered in fine detail upon stylized waves, with seabirds in flight to the upper right. The denomination 'TWO POUNDS' arcs across the upper field, the commemorative date '1492' appears in the lower centre, and the legend 'CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS' curves along the lower rim within a scrolled cartouche. |
