| Reverse description | Central field displays the crowned Portuguese royal arms rendered in a simplified, stylised manner characteristic of hammered small-denomination coinage struck at the Pernambuco Mint. The escutcheon, charged with the quinas of Portugal, is flanked by decorative floral or rosette ornaments at the cardinal points, serving as space-fillers in the field. The design is boldly struck with deep, angular contours reflecting the hand-worked nature of the hammered technique. The entire device is enclosed within a prominent milled or toothed border. No visible legend appears on this face, the denomination and mint identity being conveyed through the obverse inscription and overall type. |
