| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Autonomous Region of the Azores centrally positioned in the field, featuring a quartered shield surmounted by an eagle with two gyrfalcons as supporters flanking the shield, and a decorative banner bearing a motto in the exergue. Two crowned lions rampant act as heraldic supporters on either side of the central achievement. The legend REGIAO AUTONOMA DOS ACORES arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1980 appears prominently at the base, flanked by small decorative stars. The mintmaster's initials are inscribed discreetly beneath the shield. The overall design is rendered in high relief in proof finish. |
