| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold, stylized commemorative design divided into two contrasting fields — one polished mirror-like and one frosted — creating a striking bi-tone effect. Prominent Chinese characters reading '澳門回歸祖國五週年' (5th Anniversary of the Return of Macau to the Motherland) are rendered in large, overlapping block script across the upper and central field. Below, the Portuguese legend '5º Aniversário do Regresso de Macau à Pátria' is inscribed in a complementary Latin typeface. The denomination '壹仟圓' appears in Chinese characters at the top of the field, while 'MOP 1000' is inscribed in Latin script at the base. The overall design is modern and graphic in style, emphasizing the dual linguistic and cultural heritage of Macau. |
