| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized allegorical scene commemorating the Portuguese Restoration of Independence of 1640, showing a robed figure — evocative of King João IV — standing at a ceremonial podium or throne dais and extending a sword outward in a commanding gesture. Architectural elements including arched and columned structures occupy the background, rendered in a bold, modernist relief style. Two decorative scroll or horn motifs flank the central figure at lower right, adding a baroque compositional balance. The curved legend 'RESTAURAÇÃO DA INDEPENDÊNCIA' arcs along the upper rim, while the commemorative dates '1640 · 1990' appear in the lower exergual area, flanked by asterisks. The engraver's signature 'A. MARINHO' and the mint mark 'INCM' are present in the lower field. |
