| Aversbeschreibung | Castle rising above stylized waves representing the sea, with towers constructed of stacked square elements and lacking battlements at their summits. The central keep is flanked by two side towers, each composed of square-cut blocks, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of hammered Portuguese coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. The design occupies most of the flan, with the architectural elements clearly delineated despite the irregular striking surface. |

The ceitil was introduced specifically to facilitate trade with Ceuta — the North African enclave taken from the Marinids in 1415 — and its name almost certainly derives from the city itself. These coins circulated heavily in the port economy, passed between sailors, dockworkers, and merchants for whom a fractional copper piece was a practical daily necessity. Group 6 is distinguished by its square-element tower construction and battlementless towers, a die characteristic that places it within a narrow production window of roughly two years during Afonso V's reign.
