| Reverse description | Two standing figures face one another at center: on the left, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés rendered in European armor with a feathered helmet and a cloak; on the right, the Aztec emperor Montezuma II depicted in traditional indigenous regalia, holding a feathered arrow and a circular decorated shield. The encounter scene commemorates the quincentenary of Columbus's first voyage to the Americas. The curved legend 500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492-1992 arcs around the upper field, and the denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower field beneath the figures. |
