| Reverse description | Crude cast representation of the royal armillary sphere, a personal device of the Portuguese Crown, featuring a central equatorial band intersected by an ecliptic band; three parallel lines fall diagonally from upper right to lower left across the sphere. Raised dots are positioned at the equator and at the poles, delineating the principal circles of the celestial globe. The overall design is highly schematic and characteristic of the debased calin coinage struck for circulation in Portuguese Malacca. |
