The convention was an important milestone in the history of human rights in the Americas, as it established a framework for the protection and promotion of human rights in the region. The coin's design features an image of a human figure surrounded by the words "Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos" (Inter-American Human Rights Convention) and "25 Aniversario" (25th Anniversary).
