| Reverse description | Central device depicts a large armillary sphere, rendered in high relief with clearly delineated meridian and parallel bands, set upon a decorative stand. Superimposed diagonally across the sphere is the cross of the Order of Christ, with broad flared arms extending to the inner border. The circular legend SVBQ. SIGN. NATA. STAB. is distributed around the periphery between the arms of the cross, separated by pellet stops. The overall composition reflects the standard reverse type of late 17th- and early 18th-century Portuguese Brazilian silver coinage, combining the armillary sphere — a symbol of the Portuguese overseas empire — with the crusading cross of the Order of Christ. |
