| Reverse description | Central device consists of a large armillary sphere rendered in bold relief, its intersecting rings depicting meridians, parallels, and the ecliptic, topped and bottomed by decorative pole finials. Superimposed diagonally across the sphere are the arms of the Order of Christ cross, its distinctive pattée form clearly articulated. The circumferential legend SVBQ. SIGN. NATA STAB., meaning 'Born under a steady sign,' encircles the design in Roman capitals along the toothed border, referencing the Portuguese royal motto of celestial guidance. |
