| Reverse description | The reverse presents a crowned, enthroned effigy of King João II facing front, depicted in full armour and royal regalia, holding a long sceptre or lance in his right hand and an orb in his left, seated in a Gothic architectural setting. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, medieval style typical of late 15th-century Portuguese hammered gold coinage. The circumferential Latin legend +IVSTVS:VT:PALMA:FLORRBIT P encircles the design, a biblical reference meaning 'The just shall flourish like the palm tree' (Psalm 92:12), with the mint mark P for Porto appearing at the end of the legend. |
