- Inscriptions: REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA surrounding a sailing caravel navigating and the date at the bottom; on the reverse, the Portuguese national coat of arms over the armillary sphere with the denomination 2$50.
- Grade: MS64 (NGC).

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 unfurled advancing over the sea, a direct symbol of Portugal's naval and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic design and very well balanced. The reverse shows the national shield superimposed on the armillary sphere, a historical element deeply tied to Portuguese identity, with excellent relief definition and very clean fields. The specimen stands out for its exceptional state of preservation, with intense original luster, an appealing silvery tone and fully sharp details, qualities that thoroughly justify its high MS64 rating and place it among the best-preserved specimens of this issue.
