| Reverse description | Central device depicts a pyramidal or pavilion-like structure with a colonnade of pillars supporting a stepped pyramidal roof, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Seven five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc above the structure. Flanking the lower portion of the central device are two symmetrical sprays of olive branches. The date appears in two scripts: the Roman numeral legend 'MCML XXIV' and the Arabic numeral year '1989' are inscribed below the central device. The surrounding legend is rendered in a constructed or fictional script, with further inscriptions in the same script appearing in the lower arc of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Corterra does not correspond to any recognized sovereign, dependent territory, or monetary union — not in 1989 or at any other date. This appears to be a privately issued fantasy piece or novelty strike rather than a coin produced by a legitimate governmental authority. Such items circulated freely through the 1980s and 1990s collector market under invented national names, typically in .999 silver at one-troy-ounce weights to appeal to bullion buyers.
