| Reverse description | Central device displays a stylized Cross of the Order of Christ — a bold, flared Maltese-style cross — with the four quadrants each occupied by the letter M, representing the mint mark of Vila Rica (Minas Gerais), arranged two above and two below the horizontal arm of the cross. The date appears in the upper field within the circumferential legend. The peripheral legend IN. HOC. SIGNO. VINCES., separated by floral stops, encircles the design, referencing the Constantinian motto 'In this Sign you shall Conquer.' The overall composition is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the milled coinage of the Vila Rica mint. |
