| Reverse description | A standing figure of São João (Saint John the Evangelist) is depicted full-length at center, holding an attribute — likely a palm frond or staff — in one hand, within a beaded circular border. The letters 'S' and 'I' appear flanking the figure in the field, serving as an abbreviation for Sanctus Ioannes. The design follows the medieval devotional style common to Portuguese colonial issues of the Goa mint under João IV. |
