| Obverse description | The central field bears the crowned Portuguese royal arms, comprising an escutcheon charged with five bezants arranged in cross and a border of castles, surmounted by a royal crown. A small crown countermark, applied in 1854 under the authority of Pedro V, is impressed above the shield, validating the host coin for continued circulation. The circular legend in Latin reads JOANNES V D G in the upper arc and REX in the lower arc, separated by rosette or cross ornamental stops. The die work is characteristic of 18th-century milled Portuguese silver coinage, displaying fine detail in the heraldic elements. |
