| Obverse description | The Portuguese royal arms, comprising the traditional escutcheon with five quinas and a bordure of castles, is displayed centrally within an elaborate baroque cartouche with foliate and scrollwork ornamentation. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown of distinctive form, which varies between issues as either a large or small crown type. The peripheral legend reads MARIA.I.DEI.GRATIA, distributed around the coin from upper right to lower left. The overall composition reflects the late 18th-century Portuguese baroque engraving style, with deeply cut relief typical of the period's copper coinage. |
