| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Portuguese coat of arms is displayed prominently to the left of the field. Flanking it are botanical motifs: a branch of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum) above and a branch of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans) below, both species native to the Maluku Islands and central to the European spice trade of the 16th century. The surrounding legend reads REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA, with the date 1995 and denomination 200 ESC. also inscribed. The engraver's signature A. MARINHO and the mint mark INCM appear in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Portugal's "Descobrimentos" commemorative series, running through the 1980s and 1990s, tracked the sequence of Portuguese exploration anniversary by anniversary. The Moluccas — the Spice Islands — entered the Portuguese orbit around 1511 when Afonso de Albuquerque seized Malacca and immediately dispatched an expedition eastward under Francisco Serrão. Control of the clove trade was the entire point; a single successful voyage could return profits exceeding 1000% on the original investment.
The Spanish disputed Portuguese claims to the Moluccas for decades, a conflict only nominally resolved by the 1529 Treaty of Zaragoza, in which Charles V sold his claim to João III for 350,000 ducats.
