Carlos I (1889–1908) - Value: 500 Reis. - Year: 1898. - Reign: Carlos I (1889–1908). - Inscriptions: Obverse: CARLOS I REI E AMELIA RAINHA DE PORTUGAL; Reverse: TO THE CENTENARY OF THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA · IN HOC SIGNO VINCES · 1498–1898 · 500 REIS. - Grade: MS64 (NGC). Large-format commemorative coin issued to celebrate the 4th Centenary of the discovery of the sea route to India by Vasco da Gama. The obverse features the superposed busts of Carlos I and Queen Amelia, finely engraved and of notable artistic quality, with excellent definition in the facial features, decorations, and ceremonial attire. The reverse is dominated by the Cross of the Order of Christ, the central symbol of Portuguese maritime expansion, accompanied by a rich historical legend and commemorative dates. The piece retains full details typical of a non-circulating coin, consistent with an MS64 grade. It is one of the most emblematic and sought-after pieces in modern Portuguese numismatics, both for its historical significance and its outstanding artistic execution. Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
