| Obverse description | Portuguese Royal Arms rendered in a crude, stylized form typical of hammered colonial coinage; the crowned shield occupies the central field, displaying the characteristic Portuguese escutcheon with castles and bezants. The design is struck on an irregular planchet, resulting in partial definition around the periphery. No legible legend is present. |
