| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned Portuguese royal shield, displaying the five quinas and the bordure of castles, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in high relief. The denomination '80' appears to the left of the shield and the date flanks the crown, with one or two decorative flowers or mint marks positioned in the field to either side. The peripheral legend, reading clockwise in Latin characters, identifies the sovereign and his titles. The overall design follows the milled coinage style of the late 17th-century Portuguese colonial mints. |

| Reverse description | Central device comprises a large cross of the Order of Christ — a broad red-armed cross pattée rendered in relief — overlaid upon an armillary sphere, whose graduated rings and meridian bands are clearly articulated across the field. The armillary sphere, an emblem of Portuguese maritime exploration and sovereignty, is depicted in three-quarter perspective with its structural bands crossing diagonally. The surrounding peripheral legend in Latin capitals is separated by pellets and reads continuously around the coin's circumference. The design is characteristic of the Baroque period colonial Portuguese coinage, with strong, deeply struck relief elements. |
