| Obverse description | The Portuguese republican coat of arms, featuring the quinas (five escutcheons arranged in a cross) over a vertically striped field, is depicted prominently in the center of the coin against a mirror-polished field. The legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA arcs along the upper periphery, while MACAU appears along the right side, the two inscriptions separated by five-pointed stars at each flank. The date 1982 is inscribed in the lower exergue below the shield. |
