| Reverse description | A dignified bust of Alexandre Herculano, the celebrated Portuguese historian, novelist, and poet, faces slightly to the left, rendered in high relief with fine detail to his beard, cravat, and period attire. The commemorative legend 'CENTENÁRIO·DA·MORTE·DE·ALEXANDRE·HERCULANO' curves along the upper and lateral periphery. The dates '1877' and '1977', marking the centenary of his death, appear in the field to the left and right of the portrait respectively. The engraver's signature 'M.NORTE SCULP.' is visible in small characters to the right of the bust, and the mint mark 'incm 1977' appears to the lower left. A single star ornament is placed at the base of the legend. |
