| Reverse description | Standing full-length figure of Saint Thomas (São Tomé), the patron saint of the coin type, shown in long flowing robes and holding a spear or lance in his right hand and a book or orb in his left, facing slightly forward in a hieratic posture. The mintmark letters S and T, flanking the saint's feet, identify the type as the São Tomé escudo. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads INDIA.:.TIBI.:.CESSIT, meaning 'India yielded to thee', a reference to the Portuguese dominion over India, enclosed within a beaded border. |
