Reverse description The reverse features a three-quarter bust of King João II facing slightly to the right, depicted wearing a beret and period court attire with an ornate collar; he holds a terrestrial globe or armillary sphere in the lower foreground, emblematic of Portugal's maritime ambitions. In the left background, a detailed rendering of a multi-masted nau under sail is shown navigating stylized waves, its pennants bearing the Portuguese quinas. A mast surmounted by a cross and a shield with the royal arms rises behind the king's figure. The mint mark INCM appears at the left of the field, with the legend EUROPA E OS NOVOS MUNDOS arching along the upper rim and D. JOÃO II inscribed along the lower rim.
