| Obverse description | The central field features a stylized prehistoric cave art motif depicting a bull and a human figure, rendered in a linear engravings style evoking Palaeolithic rock art. To the right, the Portuguese coat of arms — comprising five escutcheons each charged with five bezants, arranged in a cross — occupies the upper field. The legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA curves along the upper rim, while the denomination 1000$00 appears in large numerals along the lower field. The engraver's signature J.J. BRITO is inscribed at lower left, and the mint mark INCM appears at lower right. |
