| Reverse description | An armillary sphere is depicted centrally, superimposed upon a large cross of the Order of Christ, whose flared terminals extend nearly to the coin's rim. The armillary sphere, symbolizing Portuguese maritime sovereignty and dominion over Brazil, is rendered in fine detail with visible rings and meridians. A mintmark — 'P' for coins struck at the Pernambuco (Recife) mint — appears in the field where applicable. The reverse legend is disposed around the periphery within a beaded border, referencing the dynastic motto of the House of Braganza. |
