| Obverse lettering | PETRUS II.D.G.C.IMP. ET PERP.BRAS.DEF. 1851 (Translation: PETRUS SECUNDUS DEI GRATIA CONSTITUTIONALIS IMPERATOR ET PERPETUUS BRASILIÆ DEFENSOR D. Pedro second, by grace of God, constitutional emperor and perpetual defender of Brazil) |
| Reverse description | The crowned Coat of Arms of the Second Empire of Brazil dominates the central field, featuring the imperial escutcheon supported by a coffee and tobacco branch wreath and surmounted by the imperial crown. The armorial design is rendered with fine detail consistent with mid-19th century Brazilian coinage. The circumscribed Latin motto IN HOC S. VINCES. arches above the coat of arms, an abbreviation of the Constantinian phrase In Hoc Signo Vinces. The overall composition reflects the grandeur of the Bragança imperial heraldic tradition. |
