| Reverse description | The reverse presents a relief map of Brazil occupying the center of the field, adorned with a laurel branch draped across its upper portion, symbolizing honor and national pride. Radiating lines in the background suggest a compass or navigational chart, alluding to the Age of Discovery. To the lower left of the map, the denomination '20' appears in large numerals, with 'REAIS' inscribed beneath in capital letters. The numeral '500' is engraved within the map near its lower right, further referencing the quincentennial commemoration. The design is rendered in sharp relief against a polished proof field. |
