| Reverse description | Central device of the host Brazil 960 Reis coin depicting an armillary sphere — a celestial navigation instrument rendered in fine detail with meridian rings, equatorial band, and supporting stand — symbolizing Portugal's maritime empire and its dominion over Brazil. The legend SUBQ· SIGN. NATA STAB. R encircles the sphere, reading 'Under this sign it will stand,' a reference to the Southern Cross constellation. The field shows the characteristic toning and wear associated with a circulated milled silver coin. The design is enclosed within a uniformly reeded border. The reverse bears the characteristic style of the Casa da Moeda do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro mint. |
