| Obverse description | The obverse features the crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms at centre, displaying the traditional escutcheons of the Kingdom of Portugal with the quinas (five blue shields bearing five white bezants) and the bordure of castles. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in high relief. The denomination 800 and the date 1755 flank the shield at left and right respectively. The circular legend IOSEPHUS.I.DG.PORT.REX.ET.D.AF.OR. runs around the periphery in Latin characters, identifying the issuing monarch as Joseph I, King of Portugal and Lord of Africa and the Orient. The coin's edge is bordered by a fine toothed or beaded rim. |
