| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a stylised bat displayed at the top, a traditional symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture. At centre, the Latin inscription MACAU appears horizontally, flanked above and below by the two Chinese characters 澳 and 門 forming the word 澳門 (Macau). The date 1997 is inscribed at the bottom of the field. The design reflects Macau's dual Sino-Portuguese cultural identity through its combined use of Latin and Chinese scripts. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed frontal view of St. Dominic's Church (Igreja de São Domingos), one of Macau's most iconic Baroque ecclesiastical monuments, rendered in fine relief within the copper-nickel centre disc. Two traditional Chinese characters appear in the brass outer ring at the upper left and upper right, flanking the church motif. The denomination 10 PATACAS is boldly inscribed along the lower arc of the brass ring, separated from the centre by a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
1997 was the last full year of Portuguese administration in Macau before the handover to China on 20 December 1999. Coins dated 1997 and 1998 were struck with deliberate awareness that the Monetary Authority's issuing role under Portuguese oversight was ending, and the 10 Patacas bimetallic was among the denominations carried forward unchanged into the post-handover period — the pataca itself surviving as legal tender under the "one country, two systems" arrangement, pegged to the Hong Kong dollar at a fixed rate that has held since 1977.
