| Obverse description | The central device displays the crowned Portuguese royal arms — a shield bearing five escutcheons in saltire, each charged with five bezants, within a bordure of castles — surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with cross finial. The denomination numeral 160 appears to the left of the shield, flanked by three quatrefoil rosettes arranged vertically on each side. The date is split across the field, with '17' to the left and '68' to the right of the crown. A circular legend runs along the periphery within a milled border, reading JOSEPHUS.I.D.G.PORT.REX.E.B.D., identifying the monarch as Joseph I, by the Grace of God, King of Portugal and Lord of Brazil. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a large armillary sphere with clearly rendered meridian rings, parallels, and ecliptic band, rendered in bold relief and occupying the majority of the die area. Superimposed over the sphere is the cross of the Order of Christ — a broad, plain-armed cross pattée — whose arms extend to the periphery of the coin, dividing the surrounding legend into four segments. The circumferential inscription SVBQ. SIGN. NATA. STAB., meaning 'Born under a steady sign,' is distributed between the arms of the cross, separated by pellet stops. The entire design is contained within a reeded border. |
