The reverse presents a period sailing ship of the type used by Vasco da Gama on his voyage to the East Indies via the Cape of Good Hope maritime route, rendered as a central vignette. To the left, a representation of the Hindu deity Ganesh serves as a symbolic reference to the Indian subcontinent and the destination of the 1498 voyage. The inscriptions reference Calicut, the year 1498, and bear the designer's copyright notice. |

This is a fantasy or commemorative polymer piece, not an authorized Banco de Portugal issue — Portugal adopted the euro in 2002 and has issued no escudo-denominated banknotes since. The "De Gama, Inde" designation evokes Vasco da Gama's 1498 sea route to India, a subject that appeared on genuine Portuguese escudo notes of the 20th century, but nothing about this item's authorization or issuing context suggests it carries any legal tender status in any jurisdiction.
