| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Portuguese royal shield, displaying the characteristic quinas arrangement of the House of Burgundy, surrounded by a dotted inner circle. The mint mark letter (Ç, for Zamora) appears above the shield. A circular Latin legend in uncial lettering runs along the outer border within a beaded rim, reading the royal title of Fernando I as King of Portugal. The overall style is characteristic of late 14th-century Iberian hammered billon coinage, with irregular flan and bold, if somewhat crude, die work. |
