The composition centres on a caravel with lateen sails set against a reproduction of the cartographic chart attributed to Henricus Martellus Germanus, accompanied by the Pattern of St. Gregório and assorted nautical emblems evoking the Age of Discoveries. A passage from Camões' Os Lusíadas is rendered in intaglio lettering alongside the denomination numeral. |
