| Obverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms is depicted centrally within a shield, flanked on either side by the mint letters G and A in the field, denoting the Goa mint. The shield displays the characteristic Portuguese quinas arrangement. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered coinage of this period. |
