Reverse description Central device depicts a large armillary sphere — the emblematic navigational globe of the Portuguese Empire — rendered with intersecting latitude and longitude bands, presented in high relief against a plain field. A prominent diagonal slash mark, likely a contemporary countermark or cancellation, cuts across the globe from lower-left to upper-right. The circumferential legend reads SUB Q SIGN NATA STAB, an abbreviated Latin motto meaning 'Born and Stabilised under this Sign,' distributed across the upper and lower periphery separated by stops. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border matching the obverse.
