| Reverse description | A large, boldly rendered armillary sphere occupies the central field, its meridian ring, horizon band, and latitude and longitude rings depicted in high relief with considerable detail. The sphere rests on a small ornamental base and is surmounted by a finial. The circular legend PECUNIA.TOTUM.CIRCUMIT.ORBEM runs around the periphery within a plain border, with no mintmark present. The overall composition reflects the enduring Portuguese colonial iconography associated with Brazilian coinage of the period. |
