| Reverse description | An armillary sphere is depicted centrally, superimposed upon the cross of the Order of Christ, whose distinctive red and white cross arms extend to the periphery of the design. The armillary sphere, a symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration and sovereignty over Brazil, is rendered in fine detail showing meridian bands and equatorial rings. A mintmark, where present, appears in the field. The design is enclosed by a plain inner circle and a toothed outer border, with the reverse legend arcing around the circumference. |
