| Obverse description | In the central field, a tall stone cross erected on rocky ground dominates the design, representing the padrão of São Gregório placed by Bartolomeu Dias at the Bushman's River mouth in March 1488. To the left, a Portuguese caravel is depicted in relief on the water beside the cross. The legend SAO GREGORIO arcs along the upper rim, with MARÇO and 1488 inscribed along the lower rim. |
