| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a vignette of the marimba belonging to Sebastián Hurtado, accompanied by a weathered architectural façade serving as an allegory to Mariano Valverde Ortega's composition 'Noche de Luna entre Ruinas' (Moon Night Among Ruins). Musical notation from German Alcántara's 'La Flor del Café' (The Coffee Flower) is worked into the design, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint. Microlettering reading 'LIBRE AL VIENTO, TU HERMOSA BANDERA' is embedded within the security underprint. |
