Crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms occupying the central field, surmounted by an ornate crown with scrolled elements. The quartered shield displays the distinctive heraldic charges of the Portuguese monarchy, including castles and spheres. The design is rendered in the hammered style characteristic of colonial Portuguese coinage of the early 17th century. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The initials C and Lo appear in the field, denoting the issuing authority of Portuguese Ceylon. |

A gridiron, the attribute of Saint Lawrence, depicted centrally within a beaded inner circle, with vertical bars and a cross handle rising above the frame and decorative scrollwork below. The date numerals flanking the central device, reading 16 to the left and 40 to the right, indicate the year of issue. The entire design is enclosed within a prominent beaded border. The hammered flan shows typical irregularities consistent with hand-struck colonial Portuguese silver coinage of the period. |
