| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Pedro V of Portugal, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curls. The truncation of the neck is cleanly cut. The circular legend reads PETRUS · V · PORTUG: ET · ALGARB: REX ·, interrupted at the base by the date 1861 flanked by two dots. The field is smooth and deeply struck, characteristic of a proof-like pattern issue. |
