| Obverse description | Obverse depicts a heraldic crown in raised relief centered in the field, rendered in a simple municipal style. Below the crown, the legend GAIA is incused in capital Latin letters along the lower portion of the field. The design is minimalist, consistent with the emergency porcelain token issues of the early Portuguese Republic period. The plain, unadorned field emphasizes the utilitarian character of this municipal emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the large numeral 1 in raised relief at the center of the field, denoting the denomination. The circular legend C.M.G. is distributed around the upper portion of the field, standing for Camara Municipal de Gaia. The word CENTAVO appears in raised capital letters along the lower rim. To the left of the central numeral, a glazed green cartouche bearing the manufacturer's mark EC (the glassworks or ceramics maker's stamp) is applied, identifying the producer of this emergency porcelain token. |
