| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the national coat of arms of São Tomé and Príncipe, depicting two African grey parrots with outstretched wings flanking a shield charged with a palm tree, surmounted by a black star; scrolls above and below the shield bear the inscriptions 'REPÚBLICA DEMOCRÁTICA DE S. TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE', 'UNIDADE', 'TRABALHO', and 'DISCIPLINA'. The circular legend 'REPÚBLICA DEMOCRÁTICA DE S. TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE' arcs along the upper periphery, with the date '1977' positioned centrally above the arms. The denomination '250 Dobras' is rendered in bold relief along the lower field. A small engraver's mark is visible to the lower right of the design. |

| Reverse description | Three interlocking circles arranged in a trefoil composition dominate the field. The upper circle contains the national coat of arms of São Tomé and Príncipe with attendant scroll legends. The lower-left circle displays the emblem of the United Nations — a world map on azimuthal projection enclosed by olive branches — set against a deeply recessed, mirror-polished background. The lower-right circle features the emblem of the Organisation of African Unity, showing the outline of the African continent encircled by a wreath. Trilingual legends arc around the periphery of the coin: 'THE WORLD AND US' to the left, 'NÓS E O MUNDO' to the right, and 'LE MONDE ET NOUS' along the lower border. |
