The legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA curves along the upper periphery, with the date 1933 descending along the right rim. The portrait is rendered in a classical allegorical style, with fine engraving attributed to Simões, and a beaded border frames the entire design. |

A beaded border surrounds the entire reverse field, consistent with the colonial coinage series. |
