                                                  IMPRENSA

                                                   NACIONAL

                                                 DUZENTOSS E

                                                   CINQUENTA

                                                    250~ANOS

                                                     PORTUGAL

                                                                MMXVII

                                             

Which effectively means “1768 – 2018 National Printing House two hundred and fifty ~ 250 years Portugal 2018”
