Beschrijving keerzijde Central field displays a cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters in a design closely mirroring the obverse treatment. The surrounding circular legend reads PORTVGAL, distributed around the inner circle, referencing the kingdom of Portugal as the issuing authority. The lettering is bold and somewhat unevenly spaced due to the hand-hammered production technique. The flan edge is irregular, and the relief is uneven, characteristic of billon dinheiros struck under Sancho I.

Aanvullende informatie

Sancho I inherited a kingdom his father Afonso Henriques had only recently wrested into formal existence, and his coinage reflects the monetary improvisation of a state still building its institutions. The dinheiro was Portugal's workhorse denomination throughout this period, struck in billon of notably low silver content — a practical concession to limited bullion resources in a kingdom whose southern frontier remained actively contested with the Moors.

Gomes S1.02 is among the more frequently encountered Sancho I types, though "frequently encountered" is relative for 12th-century Iberian coinage.
