| Reverse description | A bold Greek cross dominates the center of the reverse field, formed by the arrangement of four 'P' mint marks (representing Porto) in each quadrant — upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, and lower-right — a distinctive feature of the Porto mint issue under João V. The surrounding peripheral legend reads '+IN+HOC+SIGNO+VINCES', the Latin phrase meaning 'In this sign, thou shalt conquer', a motto of Christian royal authority derived from the Constantinian tradition, inscribed continuously around the coin's circumference. |
