| Obverse description | Multiple crowned or plain 'G' countermarks punched around the coin's field, applied by the colonial authority of Grenada to validate circulation. Some examples additionally display a central plug bearing a 'W' countermark. The placement of the 'G' marks is typically distributed across the available field of the host coin's design, and the number and exact arrangement of countermarks may vary by specimen. |

| Reverse description | The remaining original design of the host coin, typically a Portuguese 6400 Reis gold piece (Peça) from Brazil, featuring the portrait and legends associated with that denomination. The underlying design elements, including the royal effigy, legends, and any heraldic devices, vary according to the specific host coin used, as multiple Brazilian 6400 Reis issues from different reigns were countermarked. The original Portuguese/Brazilian inscriptions may remain partially or fully legible depending on the placement of the countermarks. |
