Reverse description Central device depicts a large ornate cross of the Order of Christ — a broad, floriated cross pattée with fleurs-de-lis at each arm termination, set within a plain inner circle surrounded by a finely milled or radiate border ring. The surrounding legend, divided by stops, reads ET DOMINUS AF OR ANNO 1755, referencing the king's lordship over Africa and the East and the date of issue. The legend is separated from the inner border by a beaded outer ring, and the entire design is contained within a scalloped milled edge.
