| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized olive branch or reed plant rendered in low relief, its slender leaves radiating across the coin's surface. To the right, the Portuguese coat of arms is depicted on a waving flag. The denomination '100 ESC.' appears prominently in large numerals at the bottom of the field, accompanied by the date '1994' and the word 'ENSAIO' (meaning 'essay' or 'pattern') beneath the shield. The mint mark 'INCM' is inscribed at the lower right rim, and a designer's monogram appears at the base. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing bust of Joaquim Pedro de Oliveira Martins, the distinguished Portuguese historian and politician, rendered in fine relief with considerable portrait detail. His bearded visage and characteristic hair are depicted in a formal, naturalistic style consistent with late nineteenth-century portraiture. The legend 'OLIVEIRA MARTINS' curves along the left peripheral arc in raised Latin characters, while the biographical dates '1845-1894' appear along the lower right arc, commemorating the centenary of his death. |
