| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, the Portuguese royal coat of arms is centrally displayed, divided vertically by a plain cross. The mint letters I and B appear to either side of the shield, serving as the mintmark for the Damão to Baçaim mint. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered coinage, with the shield exhibiting the quartered castles and bezants of the Portuguese royal arms. The flan is irregular and slightly polygonal, typical of the hand-struck copper coinage of Portuguese India. |
