The legend GRANDE PRÉMIO arcs across the upper field, flanked by two dots, with the anniversary dates 1954-1978 inscribed below the legend. In the lower field, XXV ANIVERSÁRIO appears above the denomination 100 PATACAS, which is rendered in large raised letters along the bottom arc. |

| Additional information |
The Macau Grand Prix, first run in 1954 over the streets of the peninsula, was by 1978 already establishing itself as one of the most technically demanding street circuits in the world. This issue commemorates the 25th running of the race. The "with logos" distinction separates it from a companion variety struck without the sponsor marks — a split that matters to type collectors and creates genuine scarcity pressure on the logo version specifically.
