Portugal 2 Euro 2022 – Crossing the Atlantic BU

The crossing was accomplished using only internal navigation devices: a modified sextant and a course indicator. The image shows one of the three Fairey III biplanes used to make the flight between Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro. The edge inscription reads "TRAVESSIA DO ATLÂNTICO SUL" (Crossing of the South Atlantic). Below the plane is the inscription "PORTUGAL 1922-2022". The mint mark is "CASA DA MOEDA" – its Portuguese name. The outer ring of the coin depicts the 12 stars of the European Union.
