| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised cartographic scene commemorating the Portuguese arrival at the Moluccas (Spice Islands) in 1512. In the lower left, a Portuguese carrack is depicted under sail on stylised waves, its flag visible at the stern. To the right and upper field, several volcanic island profiles rendered in a schematic, map-like manner are shown rising from the sea, with the islands individually labelled TERNATE and TIDORE. The legend ILHAS DAS ESPECIARIAS / MOLUCAS arcs along the left rim, with the date 1512 below it. |
