| Beschrijving voorzijde | The field displays a stylized radiant sun emanating rays from the upper centre, overlaid with a Gothic architectural element recalling the Tower of Belém, and a caravel under full sail to the right bearing crosses of the Order of Christ on its sails. The Portuguese royal coat of arms appears in the lower left field. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircles the inner design, referencing European unity. The legend PORTUGAL arcs along the upper rim, with the date 1991 at centre and the denomination 2½ ECU displayed in a cartouche at the lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Portugal's ECU collector series, this piece commemorates Infante Dom Henrique — known internationally as Henry the Navigator — the 15th-century prince who organized and financed the early Portuguese voyages of Atlantic and African exploration from his base at Sagres. The ECU itself was a precursor accounting unit to the euro, and Portugal's use of it for commemorative issues in the early 1990s reflected the country's post-Carnation Revolution integration into European institutions, having joined the EEC in 1986.
The X# prefix in the reference indicates this is catalogued among Unusual World Coins rather than standard circulation issues — it was never legal tender in any transactional sense.
