| Obverse description | The obverse features the Portuguese colonial arms of São Tomé and Príncipe at center: the national shield of Portugal superimposed upon an armillary sphere, the whole surmounted by a mural crown composed of five towers. The circular legend 'S. TOME·E·PRINCIPE' runs along the upper periphery, with the date '1951' inscribed in the lower field. The design is framed by a beaded border. The composition follows the standard style employed across Portuguese colonial coinage of the Estado Novo period. |
