Reverse description Square flan featuring an intricate high-relief depiction of a 19th-century Portuguese azulejo tile panel, showcasing a symmetrical geometric and interlacing design composed of four central tile sections arranged around a circular medallion. The central motif presents four dice-like elements within a roundel, surrounded by elaborate curvilinear and knotwork ornamentation characteristic of 19th-century Portuguese decorative tile art. A border of individual square tile segments frames the entire composition. The legend AZULEJOS is inscribed in the upper border tiles, and the inscription SEC. XIX appears along the lower border, referencing the 19th-century origin of the depicted tile style. The designer's credit CASA DA MOEDA – EDUARDO AIRES is inscribed vertically along the left border.
