| Obverse description | Central device depicts an armillary sphere — the dynastic emblem of Portugal — rendered in bold relief, with intersecting rings representing celestial circles, set against a flat field. A small pellet or ornamental finial appears at the top of the sphere, and a decorative flourish or torse ornament is positioned at the base. The coin's border is formed by a bold reeded or toothed rim that encircles the entire design. No legend appears on this face, the armillary sphere serving as the sole identifying motif. The overall style is consistent with late 18th- to early 19th-century Portuguese milled coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold cross of the Order of Christ at center, its characteristic splayed arms quartering the field, with a five-petalled rose rosette placed in each of the four quarters formed by the cross arms. The entire device is contained within a toothed or reeded border. The denomination numeral 'XX' and the continuation of the royal title legend appear on this face. The design follows the traditional Portuguese cross type used throughout the Joannine period, rendered in strong relief with clear angular definition to the cross arms. |
