| Reverse description | A full-rigged Portuguese caravel under sail dominates the left and central field, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-like proof background. To the right, a circular medallion portrait depicts Vasco da Gama in three-quarter facing right, showing the explorer in period dress with a beard. The legend DESCOBRIDOR VASCO DA GAMA arcs across the upper field in bold Latin lettering, while his birth and death years 1469-1524 are inscribed along the lower exergue. |
