| Reverse description | Half-length portrait of French explorer Jacques Cartier facing right and occupying the left portion of the design, depicted wearing a period cap and cloak with his right hand raised near his chin in a contemplative pose. To his right in the middle field, a detailed rendering of a square-rigged sailing vessel is shown at sea, evoking the era of early Atlantic exploration. The arc legend 500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492-1992 runs along the upper border, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS appears in the lower exergue, flanked by raised dots. The overall composition commemorates the quincentenary of European contact with the Americas. |
