| Obverse description | The obverse displays the reverse face of the host Brazilian 960 Reis coin, dominated by an armillary sphere rendered in fine detail at center, its meridians, parallels, and polar circles clearly delineated. Applied at center is the Philippine countermark: a circular punch bearing a royal crown above the legend 'F. 7.o', authenticating the coin for circulation under Ferdinand VII. The surrounding circular legend reads SUBQ · SIGN. NATA STAB., a Latin motto translated as 'For this sign you shall stand.' The reeded edge of the host coin is fully visible. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the obverse face of the host Brazilian 960 Reis coin of 1815, featuring the crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms at center, displaying the escutcheon with the quinas (five blue shields arranged in a cross, each charged with five white bezants) and a bordure of castles, all beneath an elaborate arched royal crown. The date 18-15 appears divided to either side of the crown, with the denomination 960 flanking the shield to the left. The circular legend around the periphery reads JOANNES · D · G · PORT · P · REGENS · ET · BRAS · D ·, identifying John, Prince Regent of Portugal and Lord of Brazil. Floral ornaments punctuate the legend on the right field. |
