| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned Portuguese royal arms — the escutcheon bearing five inescutcheons in saltire, each charged with five bezants, all within a bordure of castles — surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The date is divided to the left and right of the crown, and the denomination 320 appears to the lower left. The circular legend reads JOANNES D. G. PORT. ET ALG. P. REGENS, identifying João as Prince Regent of Portugal and the Algarves, with stops separating the abbreviated elements. |
