Reverse description The central field displays a large Roman numeral V denoting the face value of five réis, flanked symmetrically by four quatrefoil rosette ornaments arranged at the cardinal points, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads AFRICA·PORTUGUEZA· with the date 1770, affirming the coin's colonial attribution to Portuguese Africa. The overall composition is simple and functional, characteristic of utilitarian copper coinage struck for circulation in the Portuguese African territories. The rim is plain and unadorned.
