| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Portuguese royal arms — a quartered shield displaying five escutcheons charged with bezants in saltire (the quinas) and bordered by seven castles — set within a beaded inner circle. The royal crown surmounts the shield, rendered in bold relief. The circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading IOSEPHUS I D G PORTUG REX, with the denomination 4000 appearing to the left of the shield. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| 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. |
