| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned Portuguese royal shield — the quintas shield — set within a plain field, showing the characteristic arrangement of five escutcheons charged with bezants in saltire, enclosed within a bordure of castles. The shield is rendered in the schematic heraldic style typical of ceitis of Sebastião I. A partial circumference or faint traces of a beaded or linear border are visible around the shield, as noted in the Group 4 classification. The legend, when present, reads the royal titulature in Latin and encircles the central device, though it may be only partially visible or entirely absent depending on the specific strike. |
