- Grade: MS65 (NGC).

Postwar circulating coin of the Portuguese Republic issued during the Estado Novo period. The obverse features an elegant caravel with sails unfurled crossing the sea, a clear allusion to Portugal’s maritime and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic and well-balanced design. The reverse shows the national shield over the armillary sphere, a historical symbol of the country, with crisp relief and proper proportion of the heraldic elements. The specimen stands out for its excellent preservation, with very attractive original luster, uniform silver tone, and notably clean fields, features that fully justify its high grade MS65 and make it a particularly representative and sought-after piece within 20th-century Portuguese numismatics.
