| Reverse description | Standing frontal figure of Saint Thomas (São Tomé), the patron saint of the Goa mint, depicted in long robes with arms slightly extended, occupying the central field in a hieratic, stylized manner typical of Portuguese colonial coinage. The mint control letters S and T (for Saint Tomé) appear flanking the figure to the left and right respectively. A beaded border frames the entire design. The rendering is bold and linear, characteristic of hammered silver issues produced at the Goa mint during the reign of João III. |
