| Reverse description | Central device depicting an armillary sphere, the personal emblem of King Manuel I adopted as a dynastic symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration and continued under João III. The sphere is rendered with intersecting bands or rings representing the celestial circles, struck in a bold if roughly executed style. The design occupies the full field with no surrounding legend. The irregular flan and primitive hammered technique are characteristic of early Portuguese colonial copper coinage struck at Goa. |
