| Obverse description | Draped bust of King João V facing right, rendered in high relief with elaborately curled long hair falling to the shoulder, characteristic of the Baroque portraiture style of the Portuguese colonial coinage. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, with the Bahia mintmark 'B' and the date appearing below the truncation. The portrait is bold and finely detailed, conveying regal authority befitting the Magnanimous King. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |
