A bold pattée cross occupies the central field, with equal arms of uniform width, set within a beaded border encircling the entire coin. The cross is rendered in low relief typical of hammered coinage, with slightly irregular contours reflecting the hand-struck nature of the issue. The field around the cross is plain, with no legend or additional devices. |

The reverse features a large capital letter 'L' in the central field, representing the royal monogram of the Portuguese Crown, enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. The letter is rendered in a simple, bold serif style characteristic of Portuguese colonial copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend or subsidiary devices. |
