| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint Thomas (São Tomé) seated facing, rendered in a classical manner reminiscent of Hellenistic iconographic traditions adapted for Portuguese colonial coinage. The apostle is depicted enthroned, holding attributes associated with his martyrdom, with the abbreviated legend 'S' to the left and 'T' to the right of the central figure. The design is set within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded outer border. |

João III's Cochim-struck pardaus occupy an awkward administrative moment: Goa had been taken in 1510 but the Cochim mint, established earlier under Manuel I, remained the dominant production center for Portuguese Indian gold well into João's reign before Goa's facilities overtook it. The .854 fineness reflects a deliberate policy of matching — and undercutting — the gold standards of indigenous Hindu and Muslim trading currencies circulating along the Malabar Coast, a calculated move to drive adoption in spice-trade settlements.
