The reverse displays the denomination “150 COLONES” prominently in the center, framed by a symmetrical laurel wreath with finely engraved leaves tied at the base. Encircling the rim is the inscription “V CENTENARIO DEL ENCUENTRO DE DOS CULTURAS,” along with the commemorative dates “1492–1992,” emphasizing the meeting of the Old and New Worlds.

Struck in high-quality silver with a brilliant uncirculated finish, this KM-160 coin offers sharp details and strong visual contrast. A historically meaningful and visually appealing piece, it is an outstanding addition to collections focused on exploration, world history, and Latin American numismatics.
