Design
The 2024 Antique Vasco Da Gama 1 Kilo Silver Coins design is rich in symbolism, featuring the Samoan coat of arms, along with vivid depictions of Vasco Da Gama, his ship, and scenes from his historic voyage. Da Gamas successful journey not only established Portugal as a key player in the spice trade but also set the stage for the countrys colonial expansion in Asia. His voyages significantly altered the course of European history and international trade.
History
Vasco Da Gamas legacy is cemented in history as the first European to sail directly to India by sea. In 1498, he navigated a fleet of ships from Lisbon, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the Indian Ocean to the shores of Calicut in India. His journey opened a new sea trade route between Europe and Asia, bypassing traditional overland routes controlled by the Ottoman Empire and Arab merchants.
