| Obverse description | The ornate Portuguese royal coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting the quartered shield with the traditional quinas (five escutcheons bearing bezants) and the red border charged with castles, all set upon a horizontally lined background. The shield is surmounted by an elaborate open royal crown and flanked by decorative baroque-style scrollwork forming a cartouche. The circular legend surrounds the arms, reading clockwise from the lower left, with small star stops separating the elements of the inscription. |
