The circular legend 'REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA' arcs across the upper periphery, while 'AÇORES' appears along the lower rim. Nine five-pointed stars, arranged in a triangular pattern diminishing toward the base, fill the lower field beneath the denomination. Decorative laurel branches flank the lower legend on either side within the inner border.

Reverse description The full heraldic coat of arms of the Autonomous Region of the Azores occupies the central field, featuring a gyrfalcon displayed with outstretched wings as crest, flanked by two bulls as supporters, each chained.

The mint mark 'INCM 81' appears in the lower field below the scroll, with the date '1980' prominently struck at the bottom of the coin. The circular legend 'REGIÃO AUTÓNOMA DOS AÇORES' arcs around the upper periphery.
