| Reverse description | The central field features a detailed depiction of the carrack Santa María, Columbus's flagship vessel during the 1492 voyage of discovery, shown under full sail and navigating on stylized waves. The vessel is rendered with fine engraving detail, showing the characteristic high stern castle, multiple masts with billowing sails, rigging, and a small flag at the mainmast peak. To the right of the vessel, the date 1981 appears alongside the Cuban mint mark. The circumferential legend DESCUBRIMIENTO DE AMERICA arcs across the upper border, while SANTA MARIA is inscribed along the lower arc. The entire design is framed by an inner beaded border. |
