| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle surmounted by a royal crown, the denomination numeral 'XL' is displayed prominently in the center, flanked on either side by decorative floral ornaments. The date of issue appears within the same enclosure. The peripheral legend encircles the design, separated from the central motif by the pearl border. The overall composition is austere and heraldic in character, consistent with Portuguese colonial copper coinage of the late 18th century. |
