| Obverse description | Central device comprises the ornate crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms, featuring the traditional quartered escutcheon with castles and bezants, flanked by elaborate baroque cartouche work with foliate and floral decorative elements. The royal crown surmounts the shield, rendered in fine relief with detailed jewelling and arches. The circular Latin legend reads MARIA I DEI GRATIA, running along the coin's periphery. The milled edge is clearly visible, and the overall engraving style reflects the late eighteenth-century Portuguese baroque tradition. |
