| Obverse description | Central field displays the national coat of arms of Cape Verde, featuring a stylized torch or flame device below a horizontally banded shield, rendered in relief against a granular background. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircles the central device along the inner border, evoking the European Union star motif. The legend CAPE VERDE arcs across the upper periphery in bold raised Latin capitals, while the date 2004 appears prominently in large numerals along the lower rim. The words PROVE PROVA PROBE TEST ESSAI — denoting the trial or essay nature of the piece — are inscribed in smaller lettering within the lower field on either side of the central device. |

| Additional information |
Cape Verde's 2004 coinage patterns, catalogued in Krause under the X# prefix, were produced as trial or essay pieces rather than circulation issues — the country continued using the Cape Verdean escudo well beyond this date and never adopted the euro. The X#Pn6 designation places this firmly in the pattern series, struck to explore denominations and compositions that were never officially authorized for release.
