Circulation coin of the Portuguese Republic issued during the Estado Novo period, belonging to the well-known maritime-themed commemorative series. The obverse presents a sailing caravel with sails spread, moving 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 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 luster, a very attractive silver tone, and fully sharp details, qualities that fully justify its high MS65 grade and place it among the best-preserved specimens of this issue.
