Subject of the commemorative coin:
 50th Anniversary of the Revolution of April 25, 1974

 Description:
 At the centre of the design is a carnation, symbolising the revolution, surrounded by several eccentric circles, suggesting that people’s behaviour and beliefs may change over the years but remain essentially true to the principles of the revolution. On the right edge is the verse “Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava” (This is the dawn I waited for) and the name of the author, poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. To the left of the national coat of arms are the inscriptions “Portugal” and “25 April 1974_2024”, followed by the name of the designer and the mint mark “Casa da Moeda”, the name of the Portuguese Mint. The outer ring of the coin features the twelve stars of the European flag.
