| Obverse description | The Royal Arms of Portugal depicted in the field, rendered in a crude hammered style typical of early colonial Goan coinage. The shield displays the characteristic arrangement of escutcheons and bezants associated with the arms of King Manuel I. The design is bold but irregular due to the primitive striking technique, with no legend present. |

| Reverse description | An armillary sphere occupies the central field, a personal device of King Manuel I of Portugal and a prominent symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration. The sphere is rendered in a simplified, primitive style consistent with the low-denomination hammered coinage of early Portuguese Goa. No legend surrounds the device, and the flan is characteristically irregular in shape and surface. |
