| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | PHILIPVS D G REX PORTVGALIA ET A L - II B (Translation: Filipe, by grace of god, King of Portugal and Algarve) |
| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée centered within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters each adorned with a group of pellets arranged in a quincunx pattern, a motif derived from the Portuguese royal arms. The surrounding legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES — 'In this sign you will conquer' — runs along the outer border in Latin capitals, referencing the Constantinian motto traditionally associated with Iberian crusading coinage. The hammered flan produces a characteristically irregular outline, and the relief is bold and slightly uneven as expected of hand-struck gold issues of the period. |
