| Obverse description | The crowned Portuguese royal arms occupy the centre of the field, displaying the traditional escutcheon with the five quinas and the castle bordure, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The denomination numeral 4000 appears to the left of the shield, while three quadrefoil floral ornaments are positioned to the right. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, separated from the central device by a toothed inner circle. The overall composition reflects the baroque heraldic engraving style characteristic of mid-18th-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |
