Description:

The coin's reverse depicts Lilau Square in high relief. This area, once the source of Macau's spring water and an early Portuguese quarter, is shown from a low angle focusing on the fountain and a vintage lamp. The surrounding buildings, with their louvre windows and red-tiled roofs, convey a distinct European charm.
