| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a Portuguese caravel under full sail dominates the central field, rendered in a cartographic engraving style evoking early sixteenth-century navigational charts. A stylized outline map of Newfoundland or the Terra dos Corte-Reais coastline appears in the upper left field, with a banner-like scroll legend arcing across the upper portion. The heraldic shield of the Corte-Real family is shown in the right field. The dates '1501 - 1502', commemorating the voyages of Gaspar and Miguel Corte-Real to the northwestern Atlantic, are inscribed along the lower exergue within a beaded border. |
