| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a stylized depiction of the Castle of Goa, rendered as a turreted tower with vertical lines suggesting battlements, a common device on Portuguese Indian silver coinage of this period. The date '1645' is split around the castle device, with '16' appearing to the lower left and '4S' to the lower right. Below the castle, a royal crown is shown in relief, emphasizing the sovereign authority of João IV. The design is contained within a beaded inner border and a plain outer rim, consistent with the hammered fabric of the issue. The composition is stark and functional, with no additional legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
João IV came to the Portuguese throne in 1640 after the Restoration War ended sixty years of Iberian Union, and the Estado da India he inherited was a diminished thing — Hormuz lost to the English and Persians in 1622, Ceylon and Malacca under sustained Dutch pressure, the entire network visibly contracting. Barcelor and Onor were minor mints on the Kanara coast, their output modest and their survival rates accordingly low.
The shared mint attribution reflects administrative pairing of two small coastal factories rather than simultaneous striking at both sites.
