| Obverse description | The stylized Portuguese coat of arms, comprising five escutcheons arranged in a cross pattern each bearing five bezants, occupies the upper center of the field, rendered in a bold modern style. Below the arms, the denomination '1000 ESCUDOS' is inscribed in large characters dominating the lower field, with the date '1999' immediately beneath. The engraver's signature 'AURELIO' appears to the left of the date and the mint mark 'INCM' to the right. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' runs along the periphery, partially integrated into an angular geometric border design framing the coin. |

| Reverse description | The central design features the bold numeral '25' rendered in a large, stylized typographic composition, with a mirrored or inverted '25' overlapping it to create a dynamic graphic effect commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. The word 'ANOS' appears integrated within the numeral grouping to the right. Flanking the central motif, the inscription '25 DE ABRIL' is set in mirror image within the design, reinforcing the commemorative theme. The peripheral legend 'LIBERDADE DEMOCRACIA' encircles the field in large letters, referencing the ideals of freedom and democracy restored by the revolution of 25 April 1974. |
