| Descripción del anverso |
Host coin displaying the Portuguese crowned cross of the cruzado type, struck under João IV or Afonso VI, with a circular beaded border enclosing a partial Latin legend in the field. Applied prominently at center is a rectangular crowned countermark bearing the numeral '500' in bold relief, surmounted by a royal crown, applied by decree of 22 March 1663 under King Afonso VI to revalue circulating 400 réis cruzados to 500 réis. The underlying cross design, composed of four broad arms radiating from the center, remains partially visible beneath the countermark. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with hammered coinage of the period. |

| Descripción del reverso |
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. |
