Circulation 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 caravel with sails spread, 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 historic element deeply linked to Portuguese identity, with excellent relief definition and great field cleanliness.
