| Obverse description | Irregularly cast rectangular gold bar bearing multiple applied stampings across its upper face. At the left end, an oval cartouche stamp depicts the crowned Royal Arms of Portugal surmounted by a royal crown, with the letters 'S' and 'A' flanking the crown, identifying the Casa de Fundição de Sabará. To the right, large incuse numerals read 'N 1475' (the bar's serial number), followed by the date '1818' within a rectangular cartouche. A further stamped cartouche reads 'TOQUE 22', denoting the fineness assay, while the weight notation '5 [oitavas] 2 [oitavas] 24' is struck in successive cartouches, recording the bar's precise weight in the Portuguese oitava system. At the far right, a monogram stamp, likely that of the assayer or superintendent (JPP), appears within an oval punch. |
