Description de l’avers The São Lourenço Lighthouse, located at the eastern tip of Madeira Island. The scene shows the lighthouse building sitting on the cliff, with the tower topped by the spherical lantern and metal cross, standing out against the sea horizon. The details of the central building and annexes, as well as the vegetation typical of the landscape, reinforce the accuracy of the location.
