| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination MACUTA 1 prominently inscribed across the central field in two lines of bold raised lettering, with the numeral 1 below. A beaded inner border frames the central inscription, with four quatrefoil or rosette ornaments arranged symmetrically within the border. The outer legend reads ·1770·*·AFRICA·PORTUGUEZA·* running around the full circumference, indicating the date and the issuing territory of Portuguese Africa. The overall design is simple and functional, consistent with colonial copper coinage of the period. |
