1 Macuta - José I

Aversbeschreibung	Central device comprises the crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms, featuring the characteristic five escutcheons arranged in a cross on the shield, with a beaded inner border encircling the device. The legend JOSEPHUS·I·D·G·REX·P·ET·D·GUINEÆ· runs along the outer periphery in raised Latin characters, identifying the issuer as King Joseph I of Portugal and lord of Guinea. The crown surmounting the shield is rendered in bold relief with prominent cross and arches. The overall style reflects late Baroque colonial coinage produced for Portuguese African territories.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse displays the denomination MACUTA 1 prominently inscribed across the central field in two lines of bold raised lettering, with the numeral 1 below. A beaded inner border frames the central inscription, with four quatrefoil or rosette ornaments arranged symmetrically within the border. The outer legend reads ·1770··AFRICA·PORTUGUEZA· running around the full circumference, indicating the date and the issuing territory of Portuguese Africa. The overall design is simple and functional, consistent with colonial copper coinage of the period.
