| Reverse description | The central device features an armillary sphere — the emblematic globe of the Portuguese Empire — rendered in relief with crossed meridian bands and a central band, symbolising Portuguese maritime dominion. A small mint mark appears within the field of the sphere. A continuous Latin legend in capital letters encircles the entire design along the rim, reading the celebrated motto affirming the global circulation of money. The bold, legible lettering and the prominent spherical device are characteristic of the Joannine-era Brazilian copper coinage. |
