The legend EUROPA E OS NOVOS MUNDOS arcs along the upper rim, while the explorer's name BARTOLOMEU DIAS curves along the lower rim. The design is attributed to engraver Willem Vis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 500th anniversary of Bartolomeu Dias rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 — though the coin appeared five years late by that count, timed instead to Expo '93 in Lisbon rather than to the voyage itself. The ECU denomination was Portugal's calculated hedge during the Maastricht transition period, producing collector pieces denominated in the European Currency Unit before the country formally locked into euro conversion rates in 1999.
