Reverse description The reverse displays the denomination and date in three bold horizontal lines within the central field, reading '30' on the upper line, 'REIS' on the middle line, and '1818' on the lower line, all in large, coarsely struck capital letters. A toothed or beaded border encircles the inscription, consistent with the hammered coinage style of the Diu mint. The lettering is thick and irregular, typical of the rudimentary striking technique employed at Portuguese colonial mints in India during this period. The field surrounding the inscription is plain and undecorated.
