| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large vignette of a caravel of the type used by Bartolomeu Dias during his 1488 circumnavigation of Africa and rounding of the Cape of Good Hope, establishing the sea route to India. To the left, a jaguar's head appears as a symbolic reference to the African continent. Lettering and dates commemorate the historic voyage. |
