The Royal Mint Museum (UK) holds many sketches and models of both adopted and unadopted coin designs.

I will show some sketches here that were produced for Macao in the 1990s.

The Public Engagement and Information Officer of The Royal Mint Museum comments:

The collection contains a number of pieces of artwork pertaining to these denominations.

As these pieces are unlabelled, we cannot be certain whether they pertain to the 1992/1993 coinage specifically.
Visit the website of The Royal Mint Museum.
