| Obverse description | Central field displays a Portuguese royal shield in relief, flanked on either side by the mint letters D and O identifying the Damão or Diu mint. The design is crudely struck on an irregular flan, consistent with the hammered coinage technique employed at the Portuguese Indian mints during the late seventeenth century. The shield's details are worn but its heraldic form remains identifiable. |
