| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed portrait of Christopher Columbus facing three-quarters to the right, rendered in high relief against a finely worked field. The explorer is depicted in period costume with characteristic features associated with canonical representations of the discoverer. Flanking star devices punctuate the circumferential legend, which references the Quincentennial of Columbus's 1492 voyage to the Americas. The inscriptions V CENTENARIO, 1990, CRISTOBAL COLON, and 1492 are distributed around the portrait, with star ornaments serving as separators. |
