| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Portuguese-Spanish explorer Pedro Fernández de Quirós kneeling on a shoreline in period costume, raising a Latin cross aloft in his right hand. In the middle ground, two sailors row a longboat through the surf toward the beach, while a large square-rigged galleon under full sail is depicted to the left in the background. A rocky headland is visible to the right. The curved legend 'FERNANDEZ DE QUIROS' arcs across the upper field, and the denomination '50 VATU' is inscribed along the lower border. |
