Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays the royal blazon of King Manuel I of Portugal rendered in fine relief at center, encircled by a double concentric legend in medieval Latin. The outer legend reads '+ I: EMANVEL: R: PORTVGALIE: AL: G: VL: IN: A: D: G:', signifying Manuel I, King of Portugal and the Algarves, here and beyond the sea in Africa, lord of Guinea. The inner legend reads 'C: N: C: ETHIOPIA: ARABIA: PERSIA: I:', commemorating the conquest, navigation, and commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India. The heraldic blazon faithfully reproduces the royal arms of the Manueline period, reflecting Portugal's maritime empire at its zenith.

Aanvullende informatie

Manuel I's reign (1495–1521) coincided with the peak of Portuguese maritime expansion, and his treasury was flooded with wealth from the India route that Vasco da Gama had opened three years into his rule. The real currency system he inherited was already strained by the costs of maintaining a seaborne empire stretching from Brazil to Goa.

The 7½ euro denomination is a modern INCM invention with no historical circulation role — issued purely for the numismatic series commemorating Portuguese royal figures.
