| Reverse description | Facing portraits of the two Portuguese explorers Hermenegildo Capelo (left) and Roberto Ivens (right) are depicted in high relief against a plain field, rendered in a stylized artistic manner. The legend 'EXPLORADORES EUROPEUS CAPELO E IVENS' is inscribed along the lower portion of the field, identifying the two subjects. A dead tree motif appears in the design, beside which the assay punch mark of the common issue series is struck. The overall composition emphasizes the explorers' shared legacy in the late nineteenth-century mapping of central Africa. |
