| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a traditional arrecada, the iconic crescent-shaped gold earring of Viana do Castelo, rendered in fine detail at center field with its characteristic filigree ornamental work, hook fitting at top, and pendant floral motifs. The circular legend ARRECADAS DE VIANA DO CASTELO runs along the upper and lateral periphery. A beaded border encircles the entire design, consistent with the obverse. The composition faithfully captures the intricate craftsmanship of this emblematic piece of Portuguese folk jewelry from the Minho region. |
