| Obverse description | The central field displays the denomination expressed as the Roman numeral L (50) followed by three X's (XXX), together forming LXXX (80 réis), surmounted by a large royal crown rendered in high relief. Flanking the denomination numeral are decorative rosette or fleur-de-lis ornaments. The date 1811 appears in the lower field, flanked by small floral stops. The circular legend reads JOANNES·D·G·PORT·ET·BRAS·P·REGENS, identifying João as Prince Regent of Portugal and Brazil by the Grace of God. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border and a milled outer rim. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a Portuguese armillary sphere — a globe rendered as a grid of meridian and latitude bands with a prominent diagonal band (equinoctial ring) crossing the face — symbolizing Portugal's maritime heritage and overseas empire. The sphere occupies nearly the entire field and is rendered in strong relief. The circular legend PECUNIA·TOTUM·CIRCUMIT·ORBEM (Money Circulates around the World) surrounds the device and runs along the inner border. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border and a milled outer rim, consistent with the obverse. |
