| Reverse description | A Portuguese caravel under full sail is depicted at center, its hull and rigging rendered in fine detail, superimposed over schematic outline maps of Europe/Africa on the right and the Americas (inscribed MUNDO NOVO) on the left, symbolizing the encounter of the Old and New Worlds. The mint signature INCM 91 and the designer's name C.F. BRANCO appear in the lower field alongside the Order of Christ cross mintmarks flanking the exergue. The commemorative legend ENCONTRO DE DOIS MUNDOS curves along the upper border, and the dual date 1492-1992 is inscribed in the lower exergue, marking the quincentenary of Columbus's first voyage. |
