| Obverse description | The crowned shield of Portugal, displaying the national arms, is prominently displayed in the upper central field above the denomination '500 ESCUDOS' rendered in bold numerals. The legend 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' arcs along the upper periphery, with the mint initials 'INCM' appearing in the field. A stylised partial representation of a suspension bridge occupies the lower background, alluding to the Macau-Taipa Bridge and the commemorative theme of the handover. |
