| Reverse description | The reverse retains the design of the original host cruzado coin, typically featuring the Portuguese royal arms within a shield, surrounded by a partial Latin legend along the beaded border. The surface shows significant wear consistent with extended circulation prior to countermarking, with design elements partially legible. The hammered flan presents an irregular outline typical of mid-17th century Portuguese colonial silver coinage. |
