Circulating coin of the Portuguese Republic issued during the Estado Novo period, belonging to the well-known maritime-themed commemorative series. The obverse features a caravel with sails deployed advancing over the sea, a direct symbol of Portugal's naval and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic and very well-balanced design. The reverse shows the national shield superimposed on the armillary sphere, a historic element deeply linked to Portuguese identity, with excellent relief definition and great cleanliness of the fields. The specimen stands out for its exceptional state of preservation, with intense original luster, an attractive silver tone, and crisp, fully defined details, qualities that fully justify its high MS65 grade and place it among the best-preserved examples of this issue.
