| Additional information |
Cape St. Vincent — the southwestern tip of continental Europe — was the site of at least four significant naval engagements, the most decisive being the 1797 battle in which Commodore Horatio Nelson, acting without orders, broke from the British line to prevent the Spanish fleet from escaping. That initiative effectively made his career. Portugal issued this coin under its ongoing "Portugal em Foco" geographic series, which highlights the country's headlands, rivers, and natural landmarks through annual silver releases.
