| Reverse description | The reverse presents the crowned Portuguese royal arms: an ornate shield bearing the quinas and castles of Portugal, surmounted by a large royal crown, all set within a decorative cartouche. The circular legend surrounding the arms reads MARIA II D G REGINA PORTUGET D GUINEE, identifying Queen Maria II as the issuing authority. Small ornamental stops punctuate the legend. The design is rendered in high relief with fine engraving consistent with mid-19th century Portuguese coinage, enclosed within a milled border. |
