| Reverse description | A kneeling Maya priest dominates the left portion of the design, rendered in high relief, his arms raised in offering toward a stylized deity head or ceremonial object held aloft. In the background to the right stands a stepped Maya pyramid with a secondary structure at its base, evoking the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica. The commemorative legend 500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492-1992 arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower margin. The overall composition celebrates the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas. |
