| Obverse lettering | BANCO DE PORTUGAL 5000 CINCO MIL ESCUDOS OURO LISBOA, 29 DE SETEMBRO DE 1942 |
| Reverse description | The reverse centres on an elaborate arched architectural vignette framing an allegorical scene of a standing female figure accompanied by two children in a pastoral landscape, executed in fine intaglio. Flanking the central arch are seated allegorical figures representing the arts and sciences, with cherubs above the arch spandrels. The denomination "5000" appears twice in the lower lateral panels, and a solid guilloche bar at the foot carries the legend "CINCO MIL ESCUDOS". |
