| Obverse description | Central field bears the Portuguese royal arms — a shield quartered with the quinas (five escutcheons) — enclosed within a plain rectangular cartouche. The shield is flanked on each side by a vertical row of three pellets, with an additional pellet positioned above the cartouche, all contained within a double linear border. The overall design is rendered in a simplified, low-relief style characteristic of colonial tin-lead coinage struck for circulation in Portuguese Malacca. |
