| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of King João V rendered in high relief in the Baroque style, with elaborate curled periwig flowing to the neck truncation. The circumferential legend IOANNES. V. D. G. PORT. ET. ALG. REX. runs along the upper and left periphery within a beaded border. The Bahia mint mark 'B' and the date appear prominently in the lower field beneath the bust truncation. The portrait displays strong, sculptural modeling characteristic of early eighteenth-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |
