The dates 1808 and 1814 flank a cross at the top of the shield, commemorating the span of the conflict. The circumferential legend CENTENARIO DA GUERRA PENINSULAR arcs around the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 500 REIS is inscribed along the lower rim. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |
