| Obverse description | A stylized cruciform design dominates the field, composed of intersecting horizontal and vertical bands evoking the Portuguese national flag's cross motif, rendered with contrasting brushed and polished surfaces. At the center, the Portuguese coat of arms is depicted within a circular shield, showing the traditional arrangement of castles and quinas. The legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA arcs along the upper left periphery, while the date 2006 appears in the lower exergual area. The overall design employs a modernist geometric aesthetic characteristic of contemporary Portuguese commemorative coinage. |
