| Obverse description | Central field displays a large crowned Roman numeral V denoting the denomination, flanked symmetrically by two quatrefoil rosettes. The crown above the numeral is rendered in ornate relief. The date 1753 appears in the lower portion of the central field beneath the numeral. The entire central motif is encircled by a beaded inner border, with the peripheral legend reading IOSEPHUS·I·D·G·REX·P·ET·D·GUIN· distributed around the outer rim in Roman capitals. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a large armillary sphere rendered in fine detail, displaying meridian and latitude bands with a Portuguese royal shield at its centre. The sphere is surrounded by radiating lines suggesting celestial glory. A beaded inner border separates the central design from the outer circular legend PECUNIA·TOTUM CIRCUMIT·ORBEM, which runs in Roman capitals around the full circumference of the coin. The composition is characteristic of Portuguese colonial coinage of the eighteenth century, reflecting both metropolitan and overseas mint traditions. |
