| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned Royal Arms of Portugal, featuring the quartered shield with the quinas (five escutcheons) of Portugal and the castle of Castile, surmounted by an ornate crown. The shield is framed by decorative scrollwork typical of Manueline artistic style. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central device, reading the royal titles of Manuel I. The overall composition reflects the high-relief hammered workmanship characteristic of late 15th to early 16th century Portuguese gold coinage. |
