| Reverse description | Central device depicts an armillary sphere — the heraldic symbol of the Portuguese Crown and the Brazilian colonial coinage — rendered with bold meridian and latitude bands encircling a Portuguese royal shield at its center. Two large diagonal arrows or spears cross behind the sphere, their points extending to the upper left and lower right and to the upper right and lower left respectively, forming a saltire composition. The circular legend reads 'SVBQ· SIGN. NATA STAB.' distributed around the periphery of the field, translating as 'Under that sign was born and will remain,' a device associated with the coinage of Joseph I and the Rio de Janeiro mint. The entire design is set within a reeded border. |
