| Obverse description | The silver outer ring features a stylized allegorical figure representing the Portuguese Republic in dynamic profile, with rays of light radiating behind her head in the Art Nouveau tradition, evoking the proclamation of the Republic on 5 October 1910. The inscription '5 DE OUTUBRO 1910' and 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' arc around the field. The gold inner centre displays the Portuguese coat of arms — the quinas and castles shield — surmounted by a decorative rope knot, encircled by the legend 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' and the year '2001' with the gold fineness mark 'Au', referencing the earlier commemorative coin series. |
