| Reverse description | The reverse features a striking abstract design composed of a large circle divided by a vertical line bisecting the field into two contrasting halves — one with a mirror proof finish and the other with a matte finish — symbolising the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle governing Macau. Within the central circle, a stylised crescent arc and a short horizontal stroke are rendered in relief, evoking the concept of unity and transition. The Chinese characters 中國澳門 (China Macau) appear to the left in the field, while the Latin inscriptions 'Macau' and 'China' are positioned to the right, completing the bilingual legend. |
