| Obverse description | The Portuguese royal arms, depicting the escutcheon of Portugal with five bezants arranged in a cross pattern, set within an oval shield. The shield is surrounded by a beaded border that follows the irregular contour of the flan. The design is rendered in a simplified, somewhat crude style typical of hammered copper coinage struck at the Goa mint during the Philippine period. |

| Reverse description | A stylized oval or vesica-shaped design divided by a grid of intersecting lines forming a latticed or quartered pattern, surrounded by a dotted or beaded border. The device is characteristic of the base copper coinage struck at Goa under Philip II of Portugal, and is rendered in the rough, flat-relief style typical of hammered issues from this mint. A partial legend in Latin characters appears around the periphery, though poorly defined due to the irregular flan and hammered technique. |
