Reverse description The reverse displays a large armillary sphere occupying the central field, rendered with intersecting meridian and equatorial bands forming a gridded globe, a prominent symbol of Portuguese maritime sovereignty. The sphere rests within the open field without a mintmark. A circular peripheral legend in Latin surrounds the design along the rim. The strike, as with the obverse, reflects the characteristic roughness of early 18th-century colonial copper production.
