| Obverse description | Brown letterpress apólice on plain paper, with four small vignettes arranged across the upper portion — goats and birds at upper left, chickens and lions at upper right. The text body carries the denomination and obligation terms in period Portuguese script. A red crowned overprint reading 'D. MIGUEL I – 1828' within a starburst pattern was applied at the time of Dom Miguel's accession, converting this original João Prince Regent apólice (P#11, dated 7 June 1799) into a circulating Miguelist issue. |
