Flanking the central vignette are two symmetrical oval panels, each inscribed $1 within intricate lathe-work rosettes. Chinese characters reading 大西洋海外滙理銀行 appear across the top, with the bank name in Portuguese below, and the denomination UMA PATACA TIMOR lettered in a bold cartouche at the foot. |

| 备注 |
The Banco Nacional Ultramarino's Macau branch relied on Lisbon-directed printing throughout the colonial period, and this 1945 issue came off the presses at Litografia Nacional in Porto — a domestic Portuguese printer rather than one of the London security printers more commonly associated with colonial currency of this era. The choice reflects wartime disruption to normal supply chains; access to Bradbury Wilkinson or Waterlow was considerably complicated by the mid-1940s.
Macau's nominal neutrality during the Japanese occupation of surrounding territories gave the pataca an unusual stability for a colonial currency in the region, though the local economy was under considerable informal pressure through 1945.
