| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a decorative cross radiating rays positioned above the European continent, from which three caravels — the ships of Christopher Columbus — sail across the ocean toward the American continent, commemorating the quincentenary of the evangelization of the Americas. The composition is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, with the continental landmasses rendered in cartographic style. The legend and denomination are inscribed along the lower portion of the field, flanked by the mint mark. |
