| Obverse description | Oval medallion portrait of Portuguese navigator Vasco de Gama in three-quarter view, wearing a hat and bearing a cross emblem on his chest, set to the left of the field. The remainder of the field depicts a detailed harbour scene with multiple Portuguese caravels under sail bearing cross-of-Christ emblems, alongside figures on a quayside engaged in loading cargo, evoking the arrival at the Indian port of Calicut in 1498. |
