| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a large, plain single cross with double-lined arms extending nearly to the inner beaded circle, dividing the field into four equal quadrants. The cross is enclosed within a prominent inner beaded border. The surrounding legend, reading 'IN HOC SIGNO VINCES' (In this sign you shall conquer), is rendered in Gothic lettering between the inner and outer beaded circles. The flan is irregular at the edges, consistent with hammered silver coinage of sixteenth-century Portugal. |

João III issued this denomination during the final years of his reign, a period when Portugal's Atlantic empire was straining the domestic treasury rather than filling it — chronic overextension in Brazil, Africa, and Asia had begun reversing the flow of silver almost as fast as it arrived. The 80 Reais piece occupied an awkward middle tier in a currency system that would be substantially reorganized under Sebastião within a decade.
The Gomes references J3 93 and J3 94 distinguish two die variants of this Lisbon striking, a distinction that matters to specialists working the series closely.
