| Obverse description | Central field features the denomination '960' above the date and mint mark, all enclosed within an open wreath of laurel and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A royal crown surmounts the wreath at the top. The circular legend around the periphery reads the king's titles in Latin, with the text running from upper right around the coin. The overall composition is bold and well-centred, with the wreath framing the numerals in a characteristic Joannine style. |

| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms, featuring the traditional quartered shield with castles and bezants, is superimposed upon a terrestrial globe rendered in fine relief, its meridian and parallel lines clearly engraved. The globe rests on a decorative support, symbolising Portugal's dominion over its overseas territories. The abbreviated Latin motto legend encircles the design in the periphery. The composition reflects the imperial aspirations of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. |
