| Obverse description | The crowned royal arms of Portugal occupy the central field, presenting the traditional escutcheon charged with five quinas arranged in cross formation, each bearing five bezants, and surrounded by a bordure of seven castles. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown with fleur-de-lis finials. Four decorative ornaments — alternating trefoils and cross-pattée motifs — are symmetrically disposed at the cardinal points within the inner beaded circle, lending the composition a formal heraldic character. The outer legend reads IOANNES V D G P ET ALG REX in crisp upright Latin capitals, identifying the issuer as João V, King of Portugal and the Algarves. |
