Circulating coin of the Portuguese Republic issued during the Estado Novo period, belonging to the well-known commemorative series with a maritime theme. The obverse features a sailing caravel advancing over the sea, a direct symbol of Portugal's naval and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic and well-balanced design. The reverse shows the national shield superimposed on the armillary sphere, a historical element deeply linked to Portuguese identity, with excellent relief definition and very clean fields. The specimen stands out for its exceptional state of preservation, with intense original shine, very attractive silver tone, and fully sharp details, qualities that clearly justify its high MS66 grade and place it among the best preserved examples of this issue.
