| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed allegorical scene depicting a group of explorers or sailors crowded together in the lower portion of the field, evoking the voyages of the Age of Discovery. Above the figures, a stylized map of Africa is prominently displayed, flanked by labels for the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by a compass rose, referencing the navigational achievements of Prince Henry. The legend HENRI LE NAVIGATEUR curves along the upper periphery, and the dates 1394 · 1460 — marking the birth and death years of Prince Henry the Navigator — are inscribed along the lower border. The overall composition is rendered in high relief proof style with frosted devices against a polished field. |
