The island of Madeira is inscribed below the vessel and Porto Santo above, with the discovery dates '1420' and '1419' flanking the respective island names along the upper legend. The devotional inscription 'AVE MARIA' and the engraver's signature 'F. BRANCO' appear in the field, with 'ISABEL C' referencing the historical figure credited with sponsoring exploration. The coin date '1989', enclosed by cross ornaments, is positioned in the lower exergue. |
