| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic maritime scene depicting a Portuguese carrack and a Chinese junk sailing in close proximity, symbolising the historic convergence of Eastern and Western cultures in Macau. An oval-shaped cameo in 24-karat gold-plated relief, centrally positioned, portrays the A-Ma Temple (Pagoda de Barra), one of Macau's most significant historic landmarks. The date '1 9 9 9' is inscribed in the field, marking the year of Macau's handover to the People's Republic of China. The composition is rich in allegorical detail, celebrating Macau's unique cultural heritage at a pivotal historical moment. |
