| Obverse description | At center, the Roman numeral V (denoting 5 Réis) surmounted by a royal crown, with a six-petaled rosette to each side. The date appears below the numeral in the field. The surrounding circular legend reads MARIA·I·D·G·P·ET·BRASILIÆ·REGINA, identifying the issuer as Maria I, Queen of Portugal and Brazil. The design is rendered in a bold, simple style characteristic of late 18th-century Portuguese colonial copper coinage. |
