| Obverse description | The Cross of the Order of Christ occupies the central field, with the Portuguese royal shield enclosed within a lined circle positioned at the center of the cross. The legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA curves along the left and upper periphery, while the date 1935 appears in the lower field beneath the cross. The design is rendered in high relief with clean, bold lettering characteristic of the Lisbon Mint's output of this period. |

| Additional information |
Portuguese India's silver rupia issues of the 1930s were struck in Lisbon rather than in Goa itself, a logistical reality that persisted throughout most of the colonial period. The 1935 date falls within a stretch of relative monetary stability for the Estado Novo government, which had consolidated power under Salazar just years earlier — colonial coinage policy was among the administrative details quietly absorbed into the centralizing reforms of that regime.
The Gomes reference R 10.01 designates this as the first recorded die variety of the type, though the series saw limited die variation overall.
