1998 Brazil issued two stamps for the 5th Century of the Discovery of Brazil, one stamp has an image of a chart of Terra Brasilis the other a caravel redonda of the time. Most probably the same caravel as seen on the chart.

The chart of Terra Brasilis (1515-1519) is included in the Miller Atlas who despite the name is of Portuguese origin, and the map being attributed to Lopo Homem and Pedro Reinel, and made around 1519, when Brazil was still under the reign of Dom Manuel.
The map is in the Bibliothéque Nationale de France in Paris.
1519 - Terra Brasilis - part of the "Miller Atlas", attributed to Lopo Homem - currently in the French National Library in Paris.

The rich Miniatures show Native Americans, some involved in the business activities of Brazilwood export. A coat of arms at the north (Guyana) and the other to the south (Argentina), indicate the areas of each Peninsular Crown. (Not visible on the stamp).
