| Obverse description | Obverse of the host coin (KM#46, 1 Macuta of João, Prince Regent), featuring a circular beaded border enclosing the legend JOANNES·D·G·PORT·P·REGENSE·D·GUINEÆ· distributed around the periphery in Latin script. The field is plain, with no central effigy. Applied at center is the crowned shield countermark of Pedro V, struck in 1853 per the Edict of March 1 of that year, consisting of a crowned Portuguese coat of arms in relief, doubling the face value of the host coin from 1 to 2 Macutas. The countermark is clearly defined against the copper field. |
