| Reverse description | Central design depicts a large medieval fortified castle with three towers and multiple arched openings, rendered in a flat, stylised manner reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscript art. The castle occupies most of the field and is set against a dark background. Along the upper rim, a curved inscription in Gothic-style lettering arcs within a beaded inner border. A beaded outer border frames the entire design. The composition references the historical and artistic themes of the XVII Council of Europe Art Exhibition, evoking Portugal's medieval architectural heritage. |
