| Reverse description | Central field bears the denomination inscription MACUTA 1/4 in two lines, arranged within a beaded inner circle flanked by decorative rosette or quatrefoil ornaments at the cardinal points, giving the design a symmetrical, colonial character. An outer legend running around the circumference reads ·AFRICA·PORTUGUEZA· followed by the date, identifying the issuing territory as Portuguese Africa. The year of issue appears at the top of the outer legend, separated by small cross or star stops. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with utilitarian copper colonial coinage of the Portuguese empire in the mid-to-late 18th century. |
