| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal arms displayed on an ornate, crowned escutcheon at centre, featuring the traditional quinas (five inescutcheons arranged in a cross) and the bordure of castles, all set within a large oval shield. The shield is surmounted by an elaborate open royal crown with scrollwork. The entire composition is encircled by a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base with a decorative floral motif, with no peripheral legend, the design filling the field in a bold and formal heraldic style. |
