| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the crowned Portuguese royal arms, depicting a quartered shield with the traditional quinas (five escutcheons) and castle elements, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is rendered in moderate relief typical of colonial copper coinage of the period. A continuous circular legend in Latin surrounds the device, reading JOSEPHUS·I·D·G·REX·P·ET·D·GUIN·, identifying King José I by the grace of God as King of Portugal and Lord of Guinea. The coin's rim is defined by a plain border consistent with milled colonial production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
José I's Angola copper issues of 1770–71 were struck under the administrative apparatus of the Estado da India framework repurposed for the Atlantic colonies, at a moment when Pombal's reforms were actively reshaping Portuguese colonial currency policy. The "PANO" denomination is the critical detail here: it reflects a direct conversion into the local cloth-currency unit that had functioned as a medium of exchange in Angolan trade for generations, an acknowledgment that imposing metropolitan coinage values without local reference points had repeatedly failed.
