| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold stylized rendering of the terraced vineyard slopes of the Alto Douro wine region, depicted through sweeping parallel undulating lines that evoke the contoured hillside terraces descending toward the river. A diagonal division separates the upper smooth field from the lower striated terracing. The UNESCO logo appears within a circular cartouche in the upper right quadrant, accompanied by a small square emblem denoting the World Heritage designation. The inscription ALTO DOURO VINHATEIRO is prominently lettered along the lower rim, with additional UNESCO heritage legends appearing in the field. |
