20 Patacas – Macau

The coin's obverse depicts a snake slithering across emerald green Portuguese-style tiles, with Macau's lotus flower in the background. The text is arranged to mirror the shape of the Macau Peninsula.

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.
