| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned arms of Macau — a Portuguese-style shield superimposed upon an armillary sphere rendered in low relief, the sphere's meridian bands and equatorial ring clearly delineated. The shield bears the traditional Portuguese quinas and bezants, surmounted by a mural crown with five towers. To the left of the shield the Chinese characters 伍毫 (five ho) and to the right 澳門 (Macau) are positioned vertically in the field. The legend MACAU arcs across the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 AVOS is inscribed along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border. |
