| Reverse description | The reverse displays the bold denomination numeral '20' above the inscription CENTAVOS in large capital letters, dominating the upper and central field. Below the denomination, a naturalistic sprig of olive bearing fruit and leaves is depicted in low relief, spanning the lower portion of the coin. The designer's initials M NORTE appear discreetly within the design, as is customary for Portuguese coinage of this period. The overall composition is clean and modernist, characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Portuguese numismatic design. |
