| Reverse description | Circular Latin legend reading S. LOVRENCO arranged around the entire periphery of the field, referencing São Lourenço (Saint Lawrence), the patron associated with the Ceylon (Ceilão) mint. At the centre of the reverse, a small cross or device is visible within the inner field. The lettering is roughly executed in capital Latin characters, characteristic of the hand-struck calaim coinage of Portuguese India. The legend serves as a mint identifier for coins produced at Colombo. |
