| Reverse description | Facing busts of the Pinzón brothers, Martin Alonso Pinzón (left) and Vicente Yáñez Pinzón (right), the Spanish navigators who commanded the Pinta and Niña on Columbus's 1492 voyage to the Americas. Between the busts, a compass rose surmounted by a fleur-de-lis ornament occupies the upper central field. The commemorative legend 500 YEARS OF AMERICA 1492-1992 arcs along the upper border, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS appears on a ribbon scroll in the lower exergue. The composition celebrates the quincentenary of the European discovery of the Americas. |
