Obverse description High-relief scene depicting the departure from the port of Palos on 3 August 1492, showing Columbus standing centrally on the quayside surrounded by crew members, well-wishers, and a robed clergyman, with rigged sailing vessels visible in the background. A curved legend along the upper border reads the name of the event and date. The composition evokes the farewell scene before Columbus's first voyage.
