| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Carlos IIII of Spain facing right, with hair tied and ribboned at the nape, occupying the center of the field. The circumferential legend reads CAROLUS IIII DEI GRATIA, interrupted at the base by the date 1799. A rectangular incuse countermark, applied by Azorean authorities in 1887, appears on the left side of the bust, depicting a crowned 'G.P.' monogram — the stamp engraved by Frederico Augusto de Campos — validating the host coin for circulation in the Azores at a tariffed value of 1200 Réis. The coin's border features a fine dentilated rim. |
