| Reverse description | A three-masted carrack, representing the Santa María, flagship of Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition, is depicted in profile sailing across open seas, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The vessel is rendered in fine detail, with furled and set sails, rigging, and hull visible. A quartered heraldic shield, suggestive of the Spanish royal coat of arms, appears in the upper right field. The composition is executed in a clean, medallic style with minimal border ornamentation. |
