| Obverse lettering | CASA DA MOEDA PORTUGAL 7,5 € 2022 CARLOS NOGUEIRA |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a deeply textured, abstract field evoking a dense landscape of bare branches or undergrowth rendered in fine matte relief, filling the entire coin surface with an intricate, almost impressionistic pattern. This design is a tribute to the literary world of Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese author José Saramago, suggesting the rural Alentejo landscapes that permeate his works. The curved legend JOSÉ SARAMAGO 100 ANOS arches along the upper periphery of the coin in bold raised letters, commemorating the centenary of his birth in 1922. The minimalist composition leaves the lower field free of additional inscriptions, drawing attention to the textural artistry of the design. |
