| Reverse description | Central device displays the Portuguese royal arms: five escutcheons arranged in a cross pattern (quinas), each charged with five roundels (bezants) representing the five wounds of Christ, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield composition reflects the heraldic tradition of the House of Burgundy as used under Fernando I. The surrounding circular legend reads F D G REX PORTVGALIE (Fernando, by the Grace of God, King of Portugal), separated from the armorial device by a beaded border. The overall style is characteristic of Gothic hammered silver coinage of the late 14th century. The coin's irregular flan is typical of medieval Portuguese minting practices. |
