Fingerprint: AMERICA title above 1492 on small red scroll, Spanish explorer full-length in yellow-red striped doublet with white ruff and red cross tabard holding upright spear, three-masted ship with white sail marked red cross, dense tropical foliage with palm and banana fronds.
The central figure is a Spanish explorer in a yellow-and-red striped doublet with a white ruff, wearing a square white cross on a red tabard and standing full-length holding a long upright spear. Behind him a huge white sail emblazoned with a single large red cross, attached to a brown three-masted ship. A second small red scroll tucked to the upper right of the big banner reads 1492, tying the whole scene to the discovery voyage. The flat crimson sun with radiating rays sits at the far left behind dense banana and palm foliage, and a grey segmented armoured column or cannon barrel juts up from the lower left foreground. The bottom band is packed with red score windows and reel digits set into jungle leaves.
