| Reverse description | The gridiron of Saint Lawrence, the instrument of his martyrdom, depicted upright with four vertical bars over a triangular base representing flames, divides the date 16-46 to either side within a beaded border. The denomination numeral '1' appears above the gridiron. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered coinage produced at the Ceilão (Ceylon) mint for Portuguese India under João IV. |
