| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief composition commemorating the Manila Galleon trade route. A large Spanish galleon under full sail dominates the central field, its rigging and billowing sails rendered in fine detail. In the background, a world map depicts the transpacific route between the Philippines (labeled FILIPINAS) and the Mexican port of Acapulco (labeled ACAPULCO), with merchant figures and trade cargo — barrels and amphorae — shown in the foreground. The denomination $5 and date 2003 appear to the right in the field, with the mint mark Mo visible near the base. The upper legend reads ENCUENTRO DE DOS MUNDOS and the lower legend reads GALEÓN DE ACAPULCO, both separated by a twisted rope border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Galeón de Acapulco" commemorates the Manila Galleon trade route, which operated for nearly 250 years between 1565 and 1815 — the longest continuous transoceanic trade route in history. Acapulco served as the Pacific terminus, where Chinese silk, porcelain, and spices were offloaded and carried overland to Veracruz before crossing the Atlantic. The ships themselves were among the largest and most heavily laden of their era, and their periodic capture — most famously by Anson in 1743 — made headlines across Europe.
