| Reverse description | Three-quarter length figure of the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama facing left, bearded and wearing a broad-brimmed hat and fur-trimmed robes, holding an armillary sphere in his raised hands. To his left, a cartographic outline map of Europe, Arabia, and Africa is depicted in the field, referencing his historic sea route, with the region names Europe, Arabia, and Africa inscribed on the map in italic script. The denomination $50 appears to the left of the figure. The legend VASCO DA GAMA arcs prominently along the upper rim, and the entire design is framed by a decorative graduated border of tick marks. |
