| Obverse description | The crowned Portuguese royal arms occupy the central field, displaying the escutcheon of Portugal with its characteristic arrangement of five inescutcheons each bearing five roundels, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The denomination numeral 4000 appears to the left of the shield, while three cinquefoil floral ornaments are arranged vertically to the right. The circumferential legend is separated from the central device by a plain inner border, with the entire design enclosed within a finely reeded outer rim. |

| Obverse lettering | MARIA.I.ET.PETRUS.III.D.G.PORTUG.REGES 4000 (Translation: Maria I and Peter III, by the Grace of God, Regents of Portugal.) |
| Reverse description | The central device features a large plain cross of the Order of Christ set within a double-ringed circular border, the four quadrants of which are adorned with floral vine ornaments bearing cinquefoil blossoms at their terminals. An inner beaded border separates the central cross motif from the surrounding legend, which carries the regnal title and the date of issue. The outer rim is finely reeded, consistent with the milled production technique employed at both mints. |
