| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two scenes separated by a vertical rope-twist column: on the left, three full-rigged sailing ships of Columbus underway on a choppy sea; on the right, Leonardo da Vinci presenting plans or a model to a group of figures before a hydraulic lock or canal structure with onlookers. Below both scenes, within a bordered panel flanked by rope-knot corner ornaments, a five-line Latin inscription fills the lower field. |
