| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King José I facing right, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of the Goa mint's hammered coinage. The two-digit date numeral '64' (denoting 1764) appears prominently in the lower field beneath the royal effigy. The portrait is executed in a crude but distinctive colonial style, with flowing hair or laurel wreath visible above the profile. The field around the bust shows the irregular, slightly uneven surface typical of hammered silver production at the Goa mint. |

| Reverse description | A large Portuguese royal crown displayed prominently in the center of the field, surmounted by a cross, with decorative arches and a jeweled band, rendered in the bold, simplified style typical of hammered Goa mint coinage. The denomination numeral '30' appears in the lower field beneath the crown, indicating the value of 30 Réis. The crown design fills most of the flan, with the surrounding field showing the characteristic irregular edge of a hand-struck coin. A dotted or beaded inner border may be partially visible around the design. |
