| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Portuguese royal arms — a quartered shield bearing the quinas (five escutcheons) of Portugal — set against a plain field and surmounted by an ornate royal crown. The denomination '200' appears to the left of the shield and the date '1755' to the right, both flanked by the divided legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads IOSEPHUS I D G P REX ET D AF OR, identifying King José I of Portugal as King and Lord of Africa and the Orient. The coin is struck within a finely beaded border, consistent with milled colonial coinage of the period. The engraving reflects the baroque heraldic style characteristic of mid-18th century Portuguese royal issues. |
