| Obverse description | The crowned coat of arms of Portugal occupies the central field, flanked by two navigational compasses whose open arms overlay a stylised nautical chart rendered as a grid of intersecting rhumb lines. The denomination 200$00 appears below the arms, with the engraver's signature J.MACHADO and the mint mark INCM J positioned in the lower field. The circular legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA runs along the upper periphery. |

| Reverse description | A facing portrait of Christopher Columbus dominates the right portion of the field, accompanied by his autograph signature Xpõ FERENS to his right. To the upper left, three vessels of his 1492 expedition are depicted in relief: the larger carrack Santa María and the two smaller caravels Niña and Pinta under sail. Below, a cartographic representation of the northern coast of Hispaniola — the island Columbus named La Española, where he established the first European settlement in the Americas in December 1492 — occupies the lower field. The commemorative legends NOVO MUNDO AMERICA and the dual dates 1492–1992 appear prominently, with the name LA ESPAÑOLA inscribed beneath the map. |
