| Reverse description | The reverse features a portrait of Christopher Columbus accompanied by his Latin signature 'Xpõ FERENS' to the right. In the upper left, the three vessels of Columbus's first voyage are depicted — the carrack Santa María and the caravels Niña and Pinta. Below the portrait, a cartographic rendering of the northern coast of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti) commemorates his landfall in December 1492. The legend 'NOVO MUNDO AMERICA 1492 1992' celebrates the quincentenary of the discovery, with the additional inscription 'la española' referencing the island's historical name. |
