| Obverse description | Central device depicts a large armillary sphere rendered in low relief, characteristic of the Portuguese colonial coinage issued under João VI for the Goa mint. The sphere, a traditional Portuguese royal emblem, dominates the field and is shown with its principal rings and bands in a simplified, crudely executed hammered style. The design is heavily worn and the flan is irregular, consistent with the primitive striking methods employed at the Goa mint during this period. No peripheral legend is present on this side. |
