| Obverse description | Central field displays the royal cypher 'AL VI' above the denomination numeral 'LXXX', all surmounted by a Portuguese royal crown rendered in relief. The design is framed by a beaded inner circle, with the partial circular legend reading 'ALPHONSVS · VI D · G · REX · PORT AL · VI LXXX' distributed around the periphery. The strike is characteristic of hammered coinage, resulting in an irregular flan with uneven legend distribution. The lettering is executed in a Gothic-influenced style typical of mid-17th-century Portuguese hammered silver. The overall composition is simple and heraldic, emphasizing the king's name and the coin's denomination. |
