| Obverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms, surmounted by a crowned shield displaying the traditional quinas (five escutcheons in cross arrangement), is centrally positioned within the field. The mint marks A and D flank the shield to the left and right respectively, indicating the Goa mint destined for Diu. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or pellet border that runs along the full circumference of the coin, characteristic of hammered Portuguese colonial coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |
