| Obverse description | A stylized full-figure representation of footballer Eusébio in a dynamic kicking pose, rendered in a bold, graphic illustrative style characteristic of designer André Carrilho. The figure occupies the majority of the field, with flowing lines suggesting movement and athletic energy. The Portuguese coat of arms, depicted within a circular cartouche, appears in the upper right field. The denomination '7.50' and 'EURO' are inscribed in the lower right portion of the field. |

Eusébio da Silva Ferreira died in January 2014, and Portugal's footballing establishment had barely finished mourning before the commemorative machinery started turning. This coin is part of INCM's ongoing Sport Heroes series, which has used the unusual 7½ euro denomination since its inception — a face value with no practical circulation function, existing purely to anchor the piece as a collectible without competing with standard issues.
The .500 fineness is deliberately modest, keeping production costs low for a series aimed at general collectors rather than the bullion market.
