| Reverse description | The central field depicts a scene inspired by Ernest Hemingway's novella 'The Old Man and the Sea': an elderly fisherman stands upright in a small wooden skiff, straining against fishing lines as he battles his catch amid stylized ocean waves. To the upper right of the figure, a small key motif and a five-pointed star appear in the field. The dates '1952' and '1982' flank the central figure, commemorating the Nobel Prize year and the coin's issue year respectively. The upper legend reads 'EL VIEJO Y EL MAR · PREMIO NOBEL', and the author's name 'ERNEST HEMINGWAY' is inscribed along the lower rim. |
