| Reverse description | A detailed engraved view of the Torre de Belém (Tower of Belém), the celebrated Manueline-style fortress situated on the banks of the Tagus River in Lisbon, occupies the central field. The tower is rendered with fine architectural detail, including its distinctive corner turrets, battlements, carved stonework, and the arched loggia at its base with steps descending to the waterline. The legend 'LISBONNE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription 'TOUR DE BELEM' appears in three lines to the left of the tower. The date '1997' is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
