Description (ECB)
This crossing was achieved by using only internal means of navigation: a modified sextant and a course corrector. The design shows the representation of one of the three Fairey III biplanes that were used to accomplish the flight between Lisboa and Rio de Janeiro. The edge inscription reads ‘TRAVESSIA DO ATLÂNTICO SUL’ (English, CROSSING OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC). Below the plane, the inscription ‘PORTUGAL 1922-2022’. The Mintmark will be ‘CASA DA MOEDA’, the Portuguese name of the Mint. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
