| Reverse description | Cross composed of five Portuguese royal escutcheons (quinas), each charged with five bezants in saltire, arranged in the traditional quinary pattern associated with the arms of Portugal. The shields are disposed one at the top, one at each side, one at the center, and one at the base of the cross, all set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular legend reads 'ADIVTORIVM NOS' in uncial Latin script, an invocation derived from Psalm 123, meaning 'Our help.' The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular contour and surface texture typical of early fifteenth-century Portuguese billon coinage. |
