| Reverse description | A draped bust of Christopher Columbus faces slightly to the right, rendered in a stylised, medallic portrait derived from historical iconography, with curled hair and period costume visible at the truncation. The bust is set within a beaded inner circle, above which a laurel wreath frames a cartouche at the apex. To the left of the bust, a fasces-like device with foliage is visible, and a dove with an olive branch appears to the right. The legend V CENTENARIO arcs across the upper field, with CRISTOBAL COLON inscribed along the lower-left arc and 1492 along the lower-right arc; the date 1990 appears at the base of the inner circle. Star ornaments flank the legends, and the entire design is enclosed by a rope-twist border. |
