| Reverse description | A dramatic depiction of the Colossus of Rhodes dominates the central field, portraying the legendary bronze statue straddling the harbour entrance with sailing vessels visible in the waters below. The design reflects a heroic, classical artistic style befitting the ancient wonder it commemorates. A circular legend arcs along the upper periphery reading MARAVILLAS DEL MUNDO ANTIGUO (Wonders of the Ancient World), while COLOSO DE RODAS (Colossus of Rhodes) is inscribed along the lower border. The date 1997 and mintmark appear to the right of the central device, with decorative star ornaments punctuating the inscriptions. |
