| Reverse description | Saint Sebastian is depicted standing in the field, arms outstretched and bound, in the classic iconographic pose of his martyrdom, with a nimbus or halo visible above his head. The figure is rendered in a simple, linear style characteristic of hammered colonial coinage. The letters P and R flank the saint to the left and right respectively, likely abbreviating PORTVGAL REX or serving as mint/assayer initials. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The imagery directly references the coin's namesake, King Sebastião I of Portugal (1554–1578), whose patron saint was Sebastian. |
