| Obverse description | Effigy of Emperor Pedro II facing left, depicted as a mature bust with refined classical detail. The portrait is flanked on both sides by the circumferential Latin legend PETRUS II.D.G.C.IMP. ET PERP.BRAS.DEF., affirming his title as Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil by Divine Grace. The date 1888 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The engraving reflects a formal imperial portrait style consistent with mid-to-late nineteenth-century Brazilian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central device displays the elaborate coat of arms of the Second Brazilian Empire, rendered with heraldic precision and surrounded by ornamental detail appropriate to a high-denomination pattern issue. Above the arms, the Latin motto IN HOC SIGNO VINCES arches across the upper field, divided symmetrically to accommodate the design. The overall composition is formal and imperial in character, reflecting the prestige of a pattern piece intended to represent the highest denomination of the Brazilian monetary system. |
