The motif shows the effigy of the republic on the left of the inner circle, looking right. This effigy is seen as the personification of the republic. Next to her and partially covered by her is the Portuguese coat of arms. Around the edge of the inner circle from twelve to seven o’clock is a rather bold inscription : “REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA  2010 1910”.

The mint mark “INCM” is between eight and nine o’clock and the name of the designer “JOSE CÂNDIDO” is between nine and ten o’clock.
