| Obverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Portugal occupy the central field, featuring the traditional blazon with castles and escutcheons. The denomination appears to the left of the shield and the date to the right. A peripheral legend in Latin identifies the issuer, reading JOANNES D G PORT ET ALG P REGENS, with the value 400 réis and the year of issue flanking the arms. The design reflects the restrained neoclassical engraving style of the Lisbon Mint during the Regency period. |

| Obverse lettering | JOANNES D G PORT ET ALG P REGENS *400* / *1816* |
| Reverse description | A large Cross of the Order of Christ dominates the central field, rendered in the characteristic pattée form associated with Portuguese imperial coinage. Decorative rosettes are placed in each of the four corners formed by the arms of the cross. The peripheral Latin legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES encircles the design, referencing the Constantinian motto adopted by the Order of Christ. The overall composition is clean and heraldic, consistent with the milled silver coinage of the Joannine Regency period. |
