| Obverse description | At center, the Portuguese coat of arms — the traditional shield bearing five escutcheons in cross formation — is displayed against a stylized globe or orb rendered in low relief, evoking the Age of Discovery. Radiating from the central device are bold sunburst rays that fill the field to the rim, imparting a dynamic, luminous quality to the design. The circular legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA arcs along the upper portion of the rim in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 500$00 appears along the lower rim, flanked by decorative dots. |
