| Reverse description | Central device depicts a terrestrial armillary sphere set on a stand, rendered in fine relief with latitude and longitude grid lines clearly delineated across its surface. A diagonal band, representing the ecliptic or equatorial band, crosses the globe and bears the mint mark 'R' for the Rio de Janeiro mint. The sphere is framed by four triangular corner pieces pointing inward at the cardinal positions, creating a cross-like decorative surround. The circumferential Latin legend 'SVBQ. SIGN. NATA. STAB.' (meaning 'Born under a steady sign') runs around the outer border, interrupted by the corner ornaments. The entire composition is enclosed within a toothed border matching the obverse. |
