| Reverse description | A bold, modernist stylized portrait of the celebrated Portuguese novelist Eça de Queiroz occupies the central field, rendered in a highly abstract, geometric artistic style characteristic of the engraver Paulo Guilherme. The composition features angular, interlocking planes suggesting the writer's face and figure in profile. The dates '1900' and '2000' appear in the lower field, commemorating the centenary of his death. The legend 'EÇA DE QUEIROZ' arcs along the left rim, while the engraver's name 'PAULO-GUILHERME' and the mint mark 'INCM' are inscribed discretely in the lower right field. |
