| Obverse description | Conjoined busts of Queen Maria I and King Pedro III facing right, rendered in high relief in the Baroque tradition. The royal effigies are draped and presented in a formal regal style, with the date appearing below the busts along with the Bahia mint mark. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigies, identifying the monarchs by name and royal title. The field is smooth and the overall engraving reflects the refined craftsmanship typical of late 18th-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | MARIA.I.ET.PETRUS.III.D.G.PORT.ET.ALG.REGES year_B (Translation: Maria I and Peter III, by the Grace of God, Regents of Portugal and Algarves.) |
| Reverse description | The elaborately rendered Portuguese royal arms of Maria I and Pedro III occupy the central field, featuring the traditional quartered escutcheon bearing the quinas of Portugal, set upon a larger shield charged with the castles of the Kingdom of Algarve. The central shield is surrounded by an ornate Baroque cartouche of scrolling acanthus foliage and floral sprays, surmounted by the Portuguese royal crown supported by a finial figure. A decorative rosette appears at the base, completing the composition. No legend is present on this face, the design relying entirely on heraldic imagery to convey royal authority. |
