Reverse description Central field features a large Cross of the Order of Christ (Cruz de Cristo) with splayed, concave arms, occupying most of the reverse field and rendered in bold relief typical of hammered technique. The cross divides the surrounding Latin legend into four segments. A circular peripheral legend reads IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (With this sign you will win), separated by dot stops, with a small star or cross mark at the commencement. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with mid-strike hammered gold production of the Lisbon mint.
