Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Bartolomeu Diaz, a Portuguese explorer who was the first to round the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features a map of the Cape of Good Hope and the ship that Diaz used for his voyage, the "São Cristóvão".
