| Reverse description | A high-relief scene depicts Vasco Núñez de Balboa in three-quarter view standing at the water's edge in full conquistador armour, including a morion helmet, breastplate, and gorget, holding a large furled banner in his right hand and a sword in his left. Two armoured soldiers accompany him in the background, one to his left carrying a lance. The composition evokes the historic moment of Balboa's discovery of the Pacific Ocean in 1513. The legend VASCO NUÑEZ DE BALBOA curves along the upper periphery, with DESCUBRIDOR DEL PACIFICO arcing below it, and the date 1982 placed in the lower right field. |
