| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold central effigy of a classical discus thrower rendered in the style of the ancient Greek Discobolus, depicted in dynamic mid-throw pose with the discus raised behind the body. At the upper field, the stylized logo of the Central American and Caribbean Games — comprising interlocked rings flanked by a javelin — is prominently displayed. The bilingual commemorative legend XI JUEGOS DEPORTIVOS CENTRO AMERICANOS Y DEL CARIBE flanks the athlete on both sides of the field, with PANAMA and the date 1970 inscribed at the lower field. The engraver's monogram R (for Gilroy Roberts) appears in the lower central field beneath the figure. |
