| Reverse description | Central device consists of a large cross of Jerusalem (a cross potent with four smaller crosslets), rendered in a bold, slightly stylised hammered style and occupying the majority of the field. Four cinquefoil or rosette ornaments are placed in each of the four quadrants formed by the arms of the cross, acting as decorative fillers characteristic of Portuguese colonial coinage of this era. Small pellets appear at the terminations of the central cross, adding further decorative detail. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or serrated outer rim. No legend is present on the reverse, the decorative cross composition serving as the sole identifying motif. |
