| Reverse description | A plain, bold Greek cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a raised circular border. Above the cross, a small fleur-de-lis or ornamental device is visible at the top of the inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by the inner beaded border from the field, reads IN HOC SIGNO VINCES — the Constantinian motto 'In this sign you shall conquer' — running clockwise around the periphery of the coin. The overall design is austere and heraldic, consistent with the emergency coinage struck at Angra do Heroísmo in the Azores during the brief reign of António, Prior of Crato. |
