| Reverse description | A standing frontal figure of Saint John the Evangelist (São João) is depicted in low relief at the centre of the field, rendered in the primitive style typical of Portuguese India hammered coinage of this period. The initials S and I (Sanctus Ioannes) flank the figure to the left and right, while the date 16-53 appears divided in the lower field. The abbreviation for the saint's name, incorporating the tilde letters characteristic of Portuguese (ão), is incorporated into the design above or around the figure. |
