| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms is displayed at center, featuring a shield divided into five escutcheons arranged in a cross pattern, each bearing bezants, with a bordure of castles surrounding the entire composition. The shield is rendered in the heraldic style characteristic of the reign of João II. The circular legend in uncial Latin script runs along the outer beaded border, identifying the king and his realm. The relief is typical of hammered copper coinage, with slight irregularities consistent with hand-struck production. |
