| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed representation of a Portuguese carrack under sail, commemorating the first recorded European sighting of Taiwan by Portuguese mariners in 1582. The ship is shown in three-quarter view with full rigging, set against a stylised depiction of a coastline suggesting the island of Formosa. The date '1582' appears prominently in the lower field, flanked by the bilingual inscriptions 'TAIWAN' in Latin script and '台湾' in Chinese characters, along with a sun symbol and a star. The engraver's name 'ISABEL C.-F.BRANCO' and the mint mark 'INCM' are inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Portugal's long series of commemorative gold issues marking its historical ties with Asia produced this piece during the final stretch of the Handover era — Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, Macau in 1999, and Taiwan's specific place in that diplomatic moment was charged. Portugal had no formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan by this point, having switched recognition to the PRC in 1975, making the choice to issue a coin honoring Taiwan politically pointed, if commercially motivated by collector demand.
The Gomes reference places this as the fourth variant in the R 121 type sequence, distinguishing it from the silver and base-metal siblings sharing the same design.
