| Reverse description | Central field features a plain Greek cross with a small pellet at the centre, the arms extending nearly to the inner beaded border, with a crown placed above the cross between the upper arms. The marginal legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (In this sign thou shalt conquer) runs in Latin capitals around the periphery between the inner beaded circle and the outer rim. The overall composition is typical of the hammered silver coinage struck for Philip III of Portugal (Philip IV of Spain) during his reign over the Iberian Union, with the cross serving as the primary reverse type across multiple Portuguese denominations of this period. |
