Obverse description Royal arms of Portugal displayed within a crowned shield occupying the central field, flanked by the mint letters G and A (for Goa) positioned to the left and right of the shield respectively. The shield bears the traditional Portuguese escutcheon with quinas. The coin exhibits a beaded border encircling the entire design, consistent with hammered coinage of the period. The overall style reflects the Manueline-era heraldic tradition employed at the Goa mint under João III.
