| 正面描述 | A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, rendered in crude hammered style characteristic of Portuguese colonial coinage. The cross arms extend nearly to the coin's border, which is formed by a ring of raised pellets or beads encircling the entire design. The overall execution is irregular, reflecting the primitive minting conditions of the Ceilão (Ceylon) mint during the reign of João III. |

| 背面描述 | An armillary sphere, the personal emblem of the Portuguese royal house and a prominent symbol of the Age of Discovery, is depicted in the central field. The sphere is rendered schematically in hammered relief, with intersecting rings suggesting the meridian and equatorial bands. A border of raised pellets or beads encircles the design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The workmanship is characteristically rough, as expected of this minor colonial denomination struck at the Ceilão mint. |

João III inherited a network of mints stretched across the Estado da India, and the Ceilão facility was among the most administratively awkward — operating under Portuguese authority on an island never fully subdued. The bazaruco itself was a purely colonial denomination, invented to satisfy local transaction needs at a granularity that Portuguese metropolitan coinage never addressed. Fractional issues like this quarter were struck in such small quantities relative to demand that most circulated to near-obliteration.
The Gomes reference distinguishes several die variants within this reign for the Ceylon issues, and examples attributable with confidence to the Ceilão mint rather than Goa remain comparatively scarce in documented collections.
