| Obverse description | Central field features an open floral wreath enclosing the denomination numeral '960' above the date and mint mark, surmounted by a Portuguese royal crown. The circular legend surrounds the wreath and crown device. This face represents the host coin issued under João VI for Brazil, here serving as the undertype for the 1887 Azorean countermark. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Portuguese royal coat of arms superimposed upon an armillary sphere, the whole surrounded by crossed banners or standards in the field. The circular legend reads 'SUB Q SIGN NATA STAB' arranged around the periphery of the coin. This reverse design is characteristic of the Brazilian colonial 960 Réis coinage struck under João VI, here used as the host planchet for the Azorean countermark of 1887. |
