| Reverse description | The reverse retains the original design of the host coin, a Portuguese 3 Vinténs (60 Réis) piece struck under João (Joannes) as Prince Regent or João VI. The central device is the crowned Portuguese royal arms on a shield, displaying the quinas (five escutcheons) and castles of the traditional Portuguese coat of arms. The surrounding legend reads 'JOANNES D.G. PORTUGALLIAE ET ALG.' along the periphery, identifying the issuing monarch. The field shows typical wear consistent with a circulated host coin that has subsequently received the countermark. |
