| Obverse description | The colonial coat of arms of Cape Verde occupies the central field, depicting a Portuguese armillary sphere overlaid with the Cape Verde shield, which features the Portuguese quinas above a stylized representation of waves and mountains. Above the central device, a row of five mural-crowned towers forms the crest. The colonial legend COLÓNIA DE CABO VERDE curves along the upper periphery, separated by raised dots, while the date 1949 appears in the lower field, also flanked by dots. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |
