Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer who is best known for being the first European to reach India by sea. In 1498, da Gama led a fleet of four ships that sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, around the Cape of Good Hope, and across the Indian Ocean, ultimately arriving in Calicut on the southwest coast of India. This historic voyage opened up a sea trade route between Europe and Asia, allowing the Portuguese to bypass the land routes controlled by the Ottoman Empire and Arab traders.

The design of the 2024 Antique Barbados Vasco Da Gama Silver Coin includes not only the Barbadian coat of arms, but also various depictions of Da Gama’s ship, Da Gama himself, and depiction of his voyage. Da Gama’s journey was a landmark achievement in the Age of Discovery. His successful navigation of the treacherous sea route to India established Portugal as a major player in the lucrative spice trade, shifting the balance of economic and political power in Europe. Da Gama was later appointed Viceroy of India, and his expeditions laid the groundwork for Portugal’s colonial expansion in Asia over the next century.
