| Reverse description | A finely detailed three-masted galleon under full sail occupies the left and central field, rendered with rigging, pennants, and wave-tossed seas below the hull, commemorating the voyages of Portuguese-Spanish explorer Pedro Fernández de Quirós. To the right in the field, a stylized compass rose with radiating lines provides a cartographic accent. The curved legend 'HISTORY OF SEAFARING' arcs along the upper border, while 'PEDRO FERNANDEZ DE QUIRÓS' runs along the lower border, with the denomination '50 VATU' inscribed in the lower central field. |
