| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in brown on cream paper, the reverse presents two large overlapping circular devices at centre: the left circle contains the numeral "1" above the denomination word within a finely ruled guilloche medallion, while the right circle bears an embossed official municipal seal. The two medallions are united by an ornate baroque cartouche with scrollwork and foliate motifs, all set within a plain rectangular border with decorative corner pieces. |

Santo Tirso is a municipality in northern Portugal, and this centavo note is a product of the severe currency shortage that gripped the country after 1917. The central government's inability to supply enough low-denomination coinage forced hundreds of municipal chambers — câmaras municipais — to issue their own emergency paper, known as cédulas. These were legally authorized under emergency legislation but remained strictly local: a Santo Tirso note would not be accepted in Braga, let alone Lisbon.
The embossed seal was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure, applied by the câmara's own press. At one centavo, this is among the lowest denominations in the entire Portuguese municipal cédula series.
