| Obverse description | Bare head of King Pedro V facing right, rendered in a simple, primitive engraving style characteristic of Goa Mint hammered coinage. The portrait is unadorned, with short hair indicated by incised parallel lines. The date 1859 appears in the lower field beneath the neck truncation. The coin's irregular flan is bordered by a row of radiating denticles. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the bold denomination numeral '60' above the abbreviated unit 'R' (for Réis), both rendered in large, plain capital letters. The design is entirely typographic with no additional decorative elements. The reverse is enclosed by a continuous border of fine denticles following the irregular coin flan, consistent with the hammered production technique of the Goa Mint. |
