| Reverse description | The brass central core features a polychrome enamelled scene depicting the 15th-century Spanish caravel Nina under full sail, rendered in naturalistic colours with teal-green seas, golden sails, and a yellow solar disc in the background. The inscription CARAVEL EXPLORER NINA arcs across the upper portion of the coloured field, with the date 1490 appearing in the lower exergue of the central disc. The legend A HISTORY OF WORLD SHIPPING runs along the upper arc of the brass outer ring, and the year of issue 1998 is inscribed at the base of the outer ring, all framed by a beaded border. |
