| Reverse description | Central field displays a large blooming lotus flower rendered in high relief, with the inner petals and bud selectively gold-coloured against the mirror-polished silver field, and the outer petals left in brilliant silver. The stem of the lotus is tied with an ornamental knot symbolizing unity and good fortune. A bilingual legend curves along the upper border reading '澳門回歸祖國十週年' in traditional Chinese characters on the left and '10º Aniversário do Regresso de Macau à Pátria' in Latin script on the right. The dates '1999-2009' are inscribed in large numerals along the lower border, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the handover. |
