| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a scene of the Spanish conquest of the New World: a mounted conquistador in full armor raises a lance and carries a heraldic banner bearing a shield, surrounded by a procession of soldiers and indigenous figures on foot, all rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored field. The scene is enclosed within a beaded inner border. The upper circumferential legend reads QVINTO CENTENARIO, with the mint mark M at the left, and the denomination 2000 PTAS. appears along the lower periphery, separated by dot ornaments, commemorating the fifth centenary of Columbus's voyage to the Americas. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin commemorates the three conquistadors who converged on the Sabana de Bogotá in 1539 in one of the stranger episodes of colonial competition: Nikolaus Federmann arriving from Venezuela, Sebastián de Belalcázar pushing north from Quito, and Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada already entrenched having descended the Magdalena River. All three men claimed the territory simultaneously, producing a standoff resolved not by force but by a trip to Spain, where the Crown effectively dismissed all three claims and appointed a new governor entirely.
