| Obverse description | Central crowned Portuguese royal shield of arms within a circular frame, surrounded by a wreath-like border. The crowned shield displays the characteristic Portuguese armillary sphere and castles design. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading MARIA.II.D.G.PORT.ET.ALG.REGINA, identifying the queen by name and title. The overall design is cast in low relief typical of early nineteenth-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |
