| Obverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms is depicted centrally, featuring the characteristic escutcheon of five bezants arranged in a cross pattern on a shield, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is flanked on either side by the initials M and A in the field, representing the Malacca mint. The overall design is rendered in the hammered style typical of Portuguese colonial coinage of the period. |

The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and rough surfaces associated with hammered colonial silver coinage. |
