| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a bold heraldic composition commemorating the founding of Portugal and the Battle of Ourique. At the centre, a stylized medieval sword is depicted diagonally across the field, overlapping a large circular motif bearing the Portuguese cross of the Order of Christ or early royal arms. Flanking the sword are two dates, '1140' to the left and '1139' to the right, referencing the year of the County of Portugal's recognition as a kingdom and the year of the Battle of Ourique respectively. The circular legend 'FUNDACAO DE PORTUGAL' and 'BATALHA DE OURIQUE' runs continuously around the rim in bold raised letters, framing the central design. |
