| Reverse description | Central device depicts an armillary sphere — the iconic emblem of the Portuguese Empire — rendered with meridian and equatorial bands over a globular body, surrounded by a stylised floral or foliate wreath. The circumferential legend PECUNIA.TOTUM.CIRCUMIT.ORBEM (Money circulates around the world) is inscribed in Latin capitals around the periphery, separated from the central motif by a beaded border. The composition is characteristic of the late colonial coinage struck at the Rio de Janeiro mint during the Joanine period. |
