| Obverse description | The crowned royal arms of the Kingdom of Portugal occupy the central field, displaying the traditional escutcheon with the five quinas and the border of castles, surmounted by a royal crown. The heraldic shield is rendered in fine relief with careful attention to armorial detail. A circular legend surrounds the arms reading JOANNES.VI.D.G.PORT.BRASIL.ET.ALG.REX, identifying the issuer as João VI, King of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. The inscription is set in Roman capital letters along the coin's periphery between two beaded borders. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold Cross of the Order of Christ at center, with decorative rosettes occupying each of the four corners formed by the cross arms. The cross is rendered in high relief with precise geometric lines characteristic of the milled coinage of this period. A peripheral motto legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES encircles the design, separated by asterisks, referencing the Christian symbol of victory. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border, and the overall design reflects the deeply Catholic iconographic tradition of Portuguese royal coinage. |
