背面描述	The central device depicts the Kon-Tiki balsa log raft under sail on open seas, rendered in detailed relief. The curved legend 'EXPEDICION KON-TIKI' arcs along the upper periphery above the central device. The commemorative dates '1947 • 1987' appear in the lower field, marking the 40th anniversary of the expedition. A key and a five-pointed star, serving as mintmarks, are positioned in the upper left field between the legend and the raft image.

附加信息	The Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947 saw Thor Heyerdahl and five crew members sail a balsa-wood raft roughly 4,300 miles across the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia, aiming to demonstrate that pre-Columbian South Americans could have settled the islands. Cuba's decision to commemorate it four decades later reflects the island's habit during the 1980s of issuing collector silver for hard currency — these pieces circulated internationally as numismatic exports rather than domestically, a straightforward mechanism for generating foreign exchange under the U.S. embargo.
