| Obverse description | At centre, the crowned Portuguese royal arms occupy the field: a composite shield bearing the quinas of Portugal — five escutcheons arranged in saltire, each charged with five bezants — quartered with the castles of Castile, the whole surmounted by a royal crown in high relief. The denomination •400• is positioned to the left of the shield and the issue date to the right, both incused within the open field. A beaded inner circle frames the armorial composition, beyond which the Latin legend PETRVS · D · G · P · PORTVGALIÆ · ET · ALG runs continuously along the outer border, identifying the issuer as Peter, by the Grace of God Prince of Portugal and the Algarves. The engraving is executed in the formal milled style characteristic of late seventeenth-century Portuguese coinage. |
