| Obverse description | Laureate and wigged bust of King João V facing right, rendered in high relief in the Baroque style, occupying the central field. The royal effigy features elaborate long curled hair flowing to the shoulder, with a laurel wreath crown. The date appears in the lower exergue. The circumferential legend in Latin reads: IOANNES V D.G.PORT.ET ALG.REX., interrupted at the base by the date. No mint mark appears below the bust on Lisboa issues. |

| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal arms, comprising the escutcheon with the five quinas and the bordure of castles, displayed at centre within an elaborate Baroque ornamental cartouche with voluted acanthus scrollwork flanking both sides. A large imperial crown surmounts the shield. The overall composition fills the field without a surrounding legend, characteristic of this gold coinage type. The reeded edge is visible at the periphery. |
