| Reverse description | Large numeral '1' above a stylized gridiron motif, the instrument associated with Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Goa, rendered in a bold and somewhat crude hammered style. The date '16 45' is split across the field, appearing below the central device. The design is enclosed within a beaded outer border, consistent with Portuguese colonial coinage conventions of the period. |
