| Reverse description | The reverse retains the original design of the host 1/2 Tostão, typically displaying a cross pattée or royal Portuguese arms as struck under the original issuing monarch. The precise reverse type varies depending on the host coin's issuer, ranging from Manuel I through João IV. Surface wear and the irregular hammered flan obscure much of the original detail, which is characteristic of these revalidated circulating pieces. No additional countermark or official stamp appears on this side. |
