| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned royal effigy facing forward, rendered in a stylized medieval manner typical of Portuguese hammered billon coinage of the late 14th century. The portrait is flanked by smaller shield devices in the quarters, with the crowning detail visible above the bust. The legend, partially fragmentary due to the irregular flan, reads IOHANES DEI GRATIA REX in abbreviated Latin, distributed around the periphery. The overall design is characteristic of the Avis dynasty workshop style, with bold if somewhat crude relief. Surface shows patination consistent with circulated medieval billon. |
