Reverse description A detailed antique-finish relief map of the Eastern Hemisphere dominates the reverse field, depicting Africa, Europe, and Asia in high relief. The historic Spice Route is traced across the map by a colored inlay of amber and brown tones representing spices, connecting key waypoints labeled Lisbon, Goa, and Maluku (Spice) Islands, with Cape of Good Hope inscribed near the southern tip of Africa. A small circular medallion at center-lower field depicts a period Portuguese sailing vessel in profile. The year 2019 appears in the upper field above the map. The arc legend HISTORIC TRADE ROUTES appears at the top of the coin and SPICE ROUTE at the bottom, both separated from the map by beaded borders.
