| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Filipe III of Portugal was simultaneously Felipe IV of Castile — the same monarch, two crowns, one treasury increasingly strained by the Thirty Years' War. The 'L-IIII' designation distinguishes the Lisbon mint issues within a reign defined by fiscal pressure and the creeping resentment that would explode in the 1640 Restoration revolt, which ended Iberian Union and made these coins the last gold cruzados struck under Habsburg authority in Portugal.
The four Gomes references reflect die and assayer mark variations across the nineteen-year issue window — a span long enough that the coins saw at least two different mint administrators.
