| Reverse description | A dramatic low-angle depiction of the Vasco da Gama Bridge over the Tagus River dominates the field, rendered with precise architectural detail showing the cable-stayed pylons and radiating suspension cables converging toward the upper centre. In the lower left foreground, a Portuguese caravel under sail is depicted, its mainsail adorned with the Cross of the Order of Christ, symbolically linking the Age of Discovery with the modern infrastructure achievement. The legend PONTE VASCO DA GAMA arcs along the upper periphery, and the year of issue 1998 appears in the lower right field in bold numerals. |
