| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with a small quatrefoil ornament in each of the four angles, all set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular legend reads +IN·HOC·SIGNO·VINCES, the traditional motto meaning 'In this sign thou shalt conquer,' referencing the Christian cross. The design is simple and boldly struck, consistent with Portuguese silver coinage of the Pedro II period. A milled or rope-pattern border frames the outer edge. |
