| Reverse description | Bold plain cross pattée occupying the central field, dividing the coin into four quadrants, each containing a small cluster of pellets or bezants arranged symmetrically. The cross is rendered in high relief with squared terminals, characteristic of the Portuguese cruzado type. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with the Latin legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (In this sign thou shalt conquer) running along the outer periphery in partially struck letters, as typical of hammered gold coinage. The irregular flan and variable striking pressure result in portions of the legend being weakly impressed at the coin's edges. |
