| Obverse description | Crowned Portuguese royal arms rendered in a crude, stylized manner characteristic of colonial hammered coinage. The shield bearing the royal coat of arms is depicted centrally within the coin's field, surrounded by an irregular raised border. The design reflects the simplified engraving typical of Portuguese colonial issues struck for circulation in Ceylon during the early 17th century. |
