| Obverse description | The obverse carries the issuing bank seal at right and the arms of Portugal at upper right, printed in black. A bold black letterpress overprint reading 'Emissão Chamiço' is applied across the face of the underlying P#4b note. The overall layout retains the original intaglio-printed text and guilloche underprint of the base note. |
