| Reverse description | The central field depicts a finely detailed relief scene of Christopher Columbus on his deathbed, lying beneath covers in a canopied bed, attended by four mourning figures including a hooded friar reading from a book, two standing companions in prayer, and a kneeling figure at the foot of the bed. A small coffer rests on a bedside table to the lower left. The scene is framed by an ornate wavy inner border with a decorative foliate cartouche at the top. The denomination $25 is inscribed in the lower field, with the Franklin Mint mintmark below it. |
