| Obverse description | Crowned Portuguese royal arms displayed at center of the field, comprising the quintas shield charged with five roundels arranged in quincunx, each bearing five pellets, set within a bordure of castles. The crown above the shield is ornate and clearly rendered in relief. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading the king's royal titles, with a beaded inner border separating the legend from the central shield. The flan is irregular, characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period. |
