| Reverse description | Central field displays the Portuguese armillary sphere mounted on a stepped base, with the Portuguese royal shield — bearing castles in the upper quarters and five bezants arranged in a cross on the central escutcheon, with additional charges in the lower quarter — superimposed at its centre. The word PROVA appears in the right field, identifying this piece as a pattern or proof striking. The encircling legend REPÚBLICA·PORTUGUESA runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering separated by a central dot, while the date 1953 is inscribed along the lower periphery flanked by two small star ornaments. |
