| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Dom João III, King of Portugal, rendered in high relief with detailed period costume and regal bearing. Surrounding the portrait in the field, a seven-line inscription in Gothic-style lettering commemorates the fourth centenary of the colonization of Brazil, spanning the dates 1532 and 1932. The design is the work of engraver Leopoldo Campos and reflects a neoclassical commemorative style characteristic of Brazilian silver issues of the early 1930s. |
