| Reverse description | A finely detailed equestrian figure of the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León, depicted in full armour and period costume, mounted on a rearing horse and positioned to the right of the field. To the left, a colonial-era fortified building is shown alongside a palm tree, evoking the explorer's presence in the Caribbean. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' is inscribed in two lines in the lower exergue. The legend 'JUAN PONCE DE LEON' arcs across the upper field in two segments flanking the central motif. The entire composition is executed in cameo proof style against a mirrored background. |
