| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized Gothic castle or tower within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude but characteristic hammered style of late 14th-century Portuguese billon coinage. The design reflects the heraldic conventions of the House of Aviz. A partial Latin legend is distributed around the periphery within a beaded border, reading +ADIVTORIVM NOSTRO IO P, invoking divine aid and referencing the issuing monarch João I. The striking is irregular, with flat areas and weak definition consistent with the hammered technique and the extreme rarity of this issue. |
