| Obverse description | Central field bearing the crowned Portuguese royal arms, depicting the quartered shield with castles and bezants, surmounted by a royal crown. Flanking the shield on either side are the initials D and O, rendered in Latin script, referencing the mint officers' marks associated with the Diu mint. The design is characteristically broad and shallow, consistent with the cast production technique employed at the colonial Portuguese India mints of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold Greek cross with equal arms, occupying the central field and dividing it into four quadrants. The date of issue is distributed within or around the quadrants of the cross, reading 1799 or 1800 depending on the emission. The numerals are cast in a blocky, somewhat irregular style typical of the Diu mint's output, with the field showing a granular, porous surface characteristic of cast copper coinage. |
