| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait of D. João de Castro, the celebrated 16th-century Portuguese viceroy, navigator, and natural philosopher, is depicted at the centre of the field. The figure is shown holding a quill pen in his right hand and a sword in his left, symbolising both his intellectual and martial achievements. The engraver's name 'A. VIDIGAL' and the mint mark 'INCM' appear within the field. The legend 'D. JOÃO DE CASTRO' curves along the upper periphery, completing the commemorative design. |
