| Reverse description | Central device depicts an armillary sphere — an emblem long associated with the Portuguese Crown and its overseas dominions — rendered in fine detail with meridians, parallels, and a stylized equatorial band encircling the globe. The sphere rests centrally within the coin's field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the two-line Latin motto CIRCUMIT·ORBEM / PECUNIA·TOTUM (meaning 'Money encircles the whole world') distributed around the periphery. The legend appears partially inverted at the base due to the medal alignment of the dies. |
