背面描述	A stylised depiction of the Diu Fortress is shown centrally, rendered as a crenellated castle or tower representative of the fortified settlement. Within the body of the fortress, the denomination numeral 7= (signifying 7½ bazarucos) appears prominently in the field. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the overall composition is characteristic of the rudimentary engraving style employed at the Diu colonial mint during the early eighteenth century.

附加信息	João V's copper issues for Portuguese India were minted at Diu, one of the Estado da India's smallest but strategically vital enclaves on the Gujarat coast. The 7½ bazaruco denomination is a product of the fractional accounting system used in Indo-Portuguese trade, where local bazaruco values were adjusted to bridge Portuguese and Gujarati commercial arithmetic. João V was deep into his reign's early spending wars — the War of Spanish Succession had only just concluded — and colonial minting in Diu operated with considerable autonomy from Lisbon's oversight, which accounts for the frequent weight and die inconsistencies documented across this type by Gomes.
