| Obverse description | Conjoined busts of Queen Maria I and King Pedro III facing right, with the date divided below the effigies. The circular legend is divided by the busts, reading GOA to the left and PARDAO to the right. The portrait style is characteristic of late 18th-century Portuguese colonial coinage produced at the Goa mint, with relatively crude hammered workmanship. The hair of both sovereigns is rendered in a laureate or wreath-tied fashion typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | The royal Portuguese coat of arms, featuring the traditional escutcheon with five shields in cross formation and bordered by castles, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is set within an ornate cartouche with foliate and scroll embellishments, with five-pointed stars flanking the central device. The overall design reflects the standard armorial type used on Portuguese colonial coinage of the late 18th century, struck at the Goa mint. |
