| Reverse description | A standing allegorical figure of Liberty wearing a radiate crown gestures toward a panoramic view of the exposition buildings along a waterfront, with a seated female figure in the foreground right holding a shield. Above, a spread eagle with wings raised bears a ribbon inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM, with radiating sunbeams filling the upper field. The circumferential legend encircles the scene, and the dates 1492-1892 with IV. CENTENNIAL appear in the lower exergue. |
