| Reverse description | The gold ring and central field depict a reproduction of a historical Banco de Portugal banknote vignette, showing a seated allegorical female figure representing Commerce or Abundance, with rays of light emanating behind her and a sailing ship visible in the background, enclosed within an oval cartouche bearing the legend 'BANCO DE PORTUGAL'. The surrounding field is divided into vertical panels with finely engraved line work and a row of decorative pearls. The inscriptions 'BANCO DE PORTUGAL' appear vertically along the left and right borders, while the commemorative dates '1846·1996' are positioned along the lower field, marking the 150th anniversary of the bank's founding. |
