| Reverse description | The elaborate Portuguese royal coat of arms is displayed centrally, featuring the escutcheon with the five quinas and seven castles, all set within an ornate baroque cartouche adorned with scrolling acanthus foliage. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown of open arched form. The mint mark appears in the lower portion of the field. The overall composition is richly detailed in the high-relief baroque style characteristic of late eighteenth-century Portuguese coinage. |
