| Obverse description | Central field displays the Portuguese royal arms consisting of five escutcheons arranged in a quincunx pattern, each bearing five bezants (quinas), enclosed within a plain inner circle. The overall heraldic composition is characteristic of the Manueline period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, referencing João II as king of Portugal and the Algarves, reflecting the hybrid nature of this transitional coinage struck under Manuel I with obverse dies of his predecessor. |
