| Obverse description | At center, the Portuguese coat of arms is depicted above a compass rose, with the country name and date arranged in the surrounding legend. Radiating from the compass at varying angles are Crosses of the Order of Christ, each symbolizing a direction of Portuguese maritime exploration — eastward toward Africa and India, and westward toward North America and Brazil. The overall design evokes the Age of Discovery through its cartographic and heraldic imagery. The denomination and date appear within the peripheral legend. |
