| Reverse description | Central field displays a further rendering of the royal name 'IHNS' within a stylised Gothic frame, surrounded by a circular Latin legend. The legend '+IHNS:DEI:GRA:REX:PO' (Ioannes Dei Gratia Rex Portugalie) runs around the periphery, abbreviated in the convention standard for Portuguese medieval coinage. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hammered production methods of the Lisbon mint under João I. The surface shows significant wear and encrustation, with the legend only partially legible. |
