| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed portrait of Vasco da Gama in left-facing three-quarter view, rendered in high relief, depicting the explorer as a bearded elder statesman wearing a period hat and draped attire. To the right of his effigy, a detailed composition of Portuguese carracks and an Asian junk under sail is depicted upon stylized waves, evoking the Age of Discovery and da Gama's historic voyages to India. The legend EUROPA E OS NOVOS MUNDOS (Europe and the New Worlds) curves along the upper rim. The mint mark INCM appears at the lower left, while the inscription VASCO DA GAMA is prominently displayed across the lower field. |
