This issue honors Portugal's greatest poet, Luis Vaz de Camões, on the 500th anniversary of his birth.

Luis Vaz de Camões (1524-1580) is considered Portugal's and the Portuguese language's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Milton, Vondel, Homer, Virgil and Dante.

While he wrote many lyrical poems and dramas, he is best remembered for his epic work "Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads)."

The obverse design features a very stylized rendering of the image of Camões. The reverse shows an equally stylized version of the Portuguese shield. Both sides of the coin have colorized highlights.
