| Reverse description | The reverse presents the crowned Portuguese royal arms at centre, depicting the traditional quartered escutcheon with the five quinas (five shields charged with bezants) arranged in cross formation, all surmounted by a royal crown. A circular legend runs around the periphery, partially legible due to wear, referencing the reigning Portuguese monarch of the host coin. The heraldic composition is rendered in the conventional style of metropolitan Portuguese copper coinage of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The overall surface shows significant wear and verdigris consistent with prolonged circulation in a tropical colonial environment. |
