| Obverse description | Castle with an outside wall composed of two distinct bodies, depicted over stylized horizontal waves representing the sea, a design characteristic of the ceitil denomination evoking Portugal's maritime identity. The castle, rendered in a somewhat crude hammered style typical of late 15th-century Portuguese coinage, is set within a circular legend. The surrounding Latin inscription reads +IOHANES:SECUNDUS, subject to numerous orthographic and stylistic variations across the emission, and is separated from the central device by a beaded or plain inner circle. |
