| Beschrijving keerzijde | A three-quarter portrait bust of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460), son of King João I of Portugal and a central figure in promoting Portuguese maritime exploration, occupies the left and central field. To the right of the effigy, his heraldic coat of arms is rendered in detail, accompanied by his personal motto 'talant de bie fere' — a device still adopted by the Portuguese Navy today. The legend 'HENRIQUE O NAVEGADOR' arcs along the upper border, while the commemorative dates '1394 1994' appear in the field, marking the 600th anniversary of his birth. The engraver's signature 'S. MACHADO' and the mint mark 'INCM' are inscribed in the lower portion of the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prince Henry never actually sailed on the voyages he famously sponsored — he directed exploration from Portugal while his captains pushed progressively further down the African coast, reaching Madeira, the Azores, and eventually rounding Cape Bojador in 1434, a psychological barrier that had stopped European navigation for over a century. This coin was struck as Portugal marked the 600th anniversary of his birth, part of a broader commemorative program tied to the Discoveries series that the Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda produced throughout the 1990s.
