| Reverse description | The reverse presents a modernist allegorical composition commemorating the tenth anniversary of Cape Verde's independence. At center, a stylized graphic device depicts three human figures rising above a horizontal platform suggestive of national progress, enclosed within a large circular arc. To the right, three horizontal lines bear the inscriptions 'RESPONSABILIDADE', 'UNIDADE', and 'EFICACIA'. The text 'Cabo Verde' appears within the central device. A single five-pointed star is positioned at the top of the field, and the commemorative legend 'DECIMO ANIVERSARIO' curves along the upper periphery. The dates '1975 X 1985' are inscribed along the lower rim, flanking a decorative hatched exergue. |
