| Obverse description | A dynamic, forward-facing ox rendered in vivid polychrome enamel coloring, its body decorated with intricate geometric and floral tile-inspired patterns in blue, orange, and gold, evoking the traditional Portuguese azulejo tilework of Macau. The ox stands in a powerful, assertive posture occupying the central field, surrounded by stylized leaf and wave motifs engraved in the gold field. To the right, the legend reads 'MACAU, CHINA' above the denomination '500圓 PATACAS', with the cyclical year inscription '辛丑年' and the Gregorian year '2021' below. The overall design harmoniously blends Chinese Lunar New Year iconography with Macanese cultural heritage. |
