| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features two oval portrait medallions depicting the Pinzón brothers, Martin Alonso Pinzón and Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, captains of the Pinta and Niña respectively, with their names inscribed below each portrait. Above the medallions, a period sailing vessel evokes Columbus's 1492 expedition. The commemorative legend referencing the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America arches across the design, with the historic date 1492 and the issue year 1991 prominently placed at the bottom. A rope border echoing the obverse design runs close to the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Pinzón brothers — Martín Alonso and Vicente Yáñez — captained the Pinta and Niña respectively on Columbus's 1492 voyage, and their contribution to that expedition was consistently underplayed in Spanish historiography in favor of Columbus himself. Cuba's state mint issued this piece as part of a series commemorating the quincentenary of the 1492 landfall, a program that generated dozens of large-format silver issues throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s targeting the collector and investor market rather than circulation.
At 155.5 grams of .999 silver, these were produced for export revenue — hard currency Cuba badly needed during the economic freefall that followed Soviet subsidy withdrawals after 1989.
