| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal coat of arms occupies the central field, depicted either crowned or accompanied by three roundels (quinas) in the surrounding arrangement, consistent with the heraldic conventions of João III's reign. The escutcheon is rendered in a schematic style characteristic of hammered copper coinage of this period. A circular legend surrounds the central device, subject to numerous die variations as typical for this issue. The overall design is consistent with standard ceitil reverse types, with the legend identifying the monarch and his royal titles. |
