| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of green and olive, centred around an intaglio portrait vignette of the poet and philosopher Antero de Quental (1842–1891), shown in three-quarter view against a guilloche underprint interspersed with stylised dove motifs. The issuer name BANCO DE PORTUGAL and the denomination 5000 / CINCO MIL ESCUDOS appear to the left, with the date LISBOA, 12 DE FEVEREIRO DE 1987 and two facsimile signatures of the Governor and Vice-Governor printed below the central vignette. The serial number in the upper right and lower left corners, along with the check number ch.2, complete the face design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in tones of green, centred on a large allegorical intaglio vignette of multiple human figures breaking free from chains, symbolising liberty and the end of oppression, set against a complex guilloche underprint with stylised decorative motifs. The denomination 5000 appears in each corner, with the issuer name BANCO DE PORTUGAL and CINCO MIL ESCUDOS / 5000 inscribed to the right. The overall composition reflects the graphic style associated with the post-Carnation Revolution commemorative series. |
