| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Portuguese armillary sphere rendered in bold relief, its meridian and horizon rings crossed at right angles and overlaid with a central Portuguese shield bearing the five quinas in the traditional arrangement of the República Portuguesa. The armillary sphere, a historic symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration, occupies the majority of the inner field. The circular legend REPUBLICA · PORTUGUESA runs along the upper periphery, interrupted by a beaded inner border, while the date 1971 appears at the base flanked by small floral ornaments. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded outer border consistent with the obverse. |
