| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold Latin cross with flared terminals occupying the majority of the flan, struck in the characteristic crude hammered style of the Goa Mint. The letters S and T, abbreviating 'São Tomé' (Saint Thomas), are positioned to the lower left and lower right of the cross arms respectively. The coin's edge exhibits a milled or toothed border, a distinctive feature of this issue, framing the cross design. The relief is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |
