| Obverse description | Central denomination numeral 'XL' flanked by floral ornaments, with the date below, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle surmounted by a royal crown. The surrounding legend reads the royal title of José I. The composition is strictly symmetrical, reflecting the restrained baroque style typical of Portuguese colonial coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
