| Reverse description | An armillary sphere rendered in low relief at the center of the field, serving as the personal device of King Manuel I of Portugal and a prominent symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration and imperial ambition. The sphere is depicted with intersecting rings representing the celestial circles, consistent with the simplified stylization seen on early Portuguese colonial hammered coinage. The strike is typically uneven, with the design partially flat on the high points due to the crude hammered technique and irregular planchet. |
