| Reverse description | A 15th-century caravel sails through a stormy sea, its sails filled by winds blown from two stylized curly-haired wind faces, referencing Columbus's 1492 Atlantic crossing. The ship dominates the central field in a dynamic, wave-tossed composition. An inner dentilated circle frames the principal legend, while an outer ring carries the departure and anniversary dates along with the denomination. The design commemorates the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America. |
