| Reverse description | Central field bears the Portuguese royal arms: a quartered shield displaying the traditional quinas (five escutcheons arranged in a cross, each charged with five bezants) and the bordure of castles, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is depicted within a plain inner border, with the overall design rendered in the crude but bold style typical of hammered copper coinage of the reign of João III. |
