Frosted portrait details contrast elegantly against shimmering mirrored fields enhanced by natural rainbow reflectivity. The surrounding inscriptions identify the Republic of Haiti and the explorer’s French name, Christophe Colomb, while a beaded border frames the design. The reverse displays the intricate coat of arms of Haiti with a central palm tree rising above crossed flags, cannons, military banners, drums, weapons, and decorative national symbols beneath the motto banner. The denomination and date appear below, surrounded by vivid toning that gives the coin exceptional character and individuality.

Issued in silver in 1973, this commemorative honors Columbus’ historic voyages across the Atlantic that connected Europe and the Americas and changed the course of world exploration.
