| Reverse description | Large stylized portrait of Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, the celebrated Portuguese football legend, rendered in a bold caricatural relief style characteristic of illustrator André Carrilho's artistic approach. The bust faces slightly to the right and fills the central field. The legend 'PORTUGAL 2016' curves along the left rim, while 'EUSÉBIO' curves along the right rim. The designer's credit 'INCM - ANDRÉ CARRILHO' appears in small lettering along the upper rim. |

| Additional information |
Eusébio da Silva Ferreira died in January 2014, and Portugal's commemorative program for him arrived two years later — part of a broader "Sport Heroes" series that INCM used to honor national athletic figures in multiple metals and face values simultaneously. The €7.50 denomination itself is something of an oddity in modern European coinage, chosen to sit outside the standard collector tier while still qualifying as legal tender.
