| Reverse description | Central device depicts a large armillary sphere rendered in fine detail, its meridian rings and parallels clearly articulated, superimposed by the cross of the Order of Christ — a plain Latin cross within a wider cross pattée — whose lower arm extends below the sphere's base. Two diagonal sword-like arrows cross behind the sphere in saltire, their points projecting beyond its circumference. The peripheral Latin legend SVBQ. SIGN. NATA. STAB. encircles the design within a toothed border. |
