| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of King João V occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with an elaborate curled periwig falling to the shoulder. The peripheral legend in Latin reads IOANNES.V.D.G.PORT.ET.ALG.REX, running clockwise from the upper left. Below the bust, the Rio de Janeiro mintmark R appears flanked by the four-digit date, here 1734, positioned in the lower exergual area. The portrait is executed in the Baroque court style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |
