| Obverse description | The Portuguese national coat of arms is displayed prominently to the right of centre, featuring the traditional escutcheon charged with five blue shields in cross formation and bordered by seven castles, set against a polished field. Radiating geometric lines forming a network pattern — reminiscent of cartographic or armillary motifs — fill the left portion of the field, alluding to the Age of Discovery. The legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA curves along the upper left periphery, while the denomination 100$00 appears in the lower field. The engraver's signature A. MARINHO is inscribed vertically at the right, alongside the mint mark of INCM. |
