| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Maria I, rendered in high relief with elaborate Baroque coiffure adorned with floral ornaments, braided tresses, and pearl-like details cascading over the shoulder. The effigy occupies the full height of the field, conveying a stately and regal portrait characteristic of late 18th-century Portuguese coinage. The date 1789 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the truncation. The circumferential legend MARIA I D G PORT ET ALG REGINA runs along the periphery, interrupted by the bust, in Roman capital letters. |
