Obverse description Veiled and draped bust of Empress Maria Theresa facing right, with elaborately coiffed hair beneath a widow's veil, occupying the central field. The surrounding legend reads M. THERESIA D. G. / R. IMP. HU. BO. REG., with the mint mark SF visible in the lower exergue. Struck onto the chest area of the bust is the Portuguese colonial countermark of Mozambique: a circular punch depicting a royal crown above the initials P.M (Provincia Mocambique), applied in 1889 to validate the host coin for circulation at 920 reis.
