| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a Spanish galleon under full sail dominates the reverse field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The multi-masted vessel, featuring elaborately rigged sails, a prominent stern castle with decorative ornamentation, and cannon ports along the hull, is shown navigating open seas with waves at the base. The legend 'NAVIRE ANCIEN' arcs across the upper right field in incuse lettering, and the date '1991' appears in the exergue below the ship. |
