| Reverse description | Christopher Columbus is depicted in the central field planting a large cross-bearing flag into the ground of San Salvador, symbolising his claiming of the New World on behalf of the Spanish Crown. Members of his crew are shown in attendance to the left, while a robed clergyman holding a processional cross stands to the right, lending an ecclesiastical solemnity to the scene. The composition is rendered in high relief in a detailed narrative style befitting a proof commemorative issue. The denomination TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the upper legend, with CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS and the date 1985 inscribed in the lower field, and SAN SALVADOR identifying the historical location. |
