| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Portuguese royal coat of arms of the fourth type or variant, consisting of a shield bearing the quinas (five escutcheons arranged in cross) with roundels, all set within a bordered shield of pointed base. The armorial device is centrally positioned within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a circular legend in uncial Latin characters in the outer border. The die workmanship reflects the characteristic style of Afonso V's ceitil coinage, with boldly struck but irregularly detailed heraldic elements on a copper flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ceitil — named for Ceuta, the North African enclave seized by Portugal in 1415 — was struck specifically for colonial trade use, its low denomination suited to small transactions in territories where Portuguese commercial presence was expanding. Afonso V's reign saw sustained military engagement along the Moroccan coast, and the coin's design evolved through several die groups as production continued across multiple mints over decades. Group 3 is distinguished by the squared tower elements and four-battlement turrets, a detail that allows attribution to a specific production phase within the 1449–1457 window defined by Magro.
