| Obverse description | A crowned royal cipher displaying the face value XX in Roman numerals occupies the center of the field, flanked by the regnal year below. The entire design is encircled by a beaded border and the royal legend naming the joint monarchs, rendered in Latin script. A countermark applied in 1809 doubles the denomination to 40 Réis on this host 20 Réis coin. The crown above the cipher is rendered in high relief, characteristic of the Lisbon Mint style of the period. |
