| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Portuguese royal shield at left and a full-rigged caravel sailing to the right, set against a compass rose design in the background. A tower or castle motif appears behind the shield, evoking Portugal's Age of Discovery heritage. Twelve stars encircle the design along the inner rim, referencing the European Union. The legend PORTUGAL arches along the upper rim, with the denomination 5 EURO and date 1997 inscribed in the lower portion of the field. |
