| Reverse description | A female fado singer (fadista) is depicted in a contemplative pose, rendered in fine relief against a plain field, evoking the melancholic and introspective nature of the fado musical tradition. The legend 'PATRIMÓNIO CULTURAL' arcs along the upper rim, affirming fado's status as a recognized cultural heritage. The inscription 'o fado' appears prominently in the central field, with the engraver's name 'VITOR SANTOS' and the mint mark 'INCM' placed in the lower portion of the coin. |
