| Obverse description | Oval roller-milled souvenir piece struck over a 1979 Mexican one peso coin, with the residual host coin design visible in the field. At center, a left-facing bust in relief — derived from the obverse effigy of the host coin — is surrounded by an oval beaded border. The legend arching above reads 'RACINE, WI. R.N.S. COIN SHOW MARCH 1, 1992' and below '500TH ANNIVERSARY AMERICAS 1492-1992', with residual lettering 'UN PESO' and '1979' from the host coin visible along the left and lower edges. |
