| Beschrijving voorzijde | A dramatic maritime scene depicting a 16th-century sailing vessel in a tempestuous sea occupies the central field, with five sailors shown supporting the figure of Saint Francis Xavier above the waves in reference to the miracle of calming the sea. The crowned Portuguese royal arms appear to the left in the field. The denomination and dual dates are inscribed below, flanked by the mint initials and engraver's mark. The legend is arranged along the upper periphery in Latin script. The overall composition reflects a vigorous, narrative artistic style characteristic of Portuguese commemorative coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francisco Xavier died on Shangchuan Island in December 1552, within sight of the Chinese mainland he never reached, having spent a decade crossing Asia from Goa to Japan building Jesuit missions largely without institutional support. Portugal's claim on his memory is complicated — he was Navarrese by birth, Spanish by training under Ignatius Loyola, and only incidentally Portuguese by the patronage structure that funded his passage east under the padroado.
The R122.01 and R122.02 variants distinguished by Gomes reflect differences in the edge lettering applied during striking.
