| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Eduardo Aires, depicts a stylized frontal effigy of a classical female figure wearing a winged petasus helmet adorned with floral or scroll motifs at the temples, evoking Mercury or an allegorical representation of knowledge and commerce. The surrounding field is densely filled with rows of binary code numerals (sequences of 0s and 1s), symbolizing the intersection of classical learning and the digital age. The circular legend 'ISEG. OPEN MINDS. GRAB THE FUTURE' runs along the outer border in bold capital letters. The engraver's signature 'SILVA – CASA DA MOEDA' appears in small lettering at the lower left of the inner field. |

| Additional information |
ISEG — the Lisbon School of Economics and Management — was founded in 1911 as part of the broader republican restructuring of Portuguese higher education following the fall of the monarchy. The 7½ euro denomination is a recurring INCM conceit, chosen precisely because it has no practical monetary function, positioning these strikes as collectibles from the outset rather than pretending at circulation relevance.
