| Obverse description | Central field bears the royal cipher 'IO IIII' (Joannes IV) in two lines, with the denomination 'LXXX' (80 Réis) inscribed below, all surmounted by a royal crown in high relief. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend partially legible due to the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage. The overall style reflects the crude but bold artistry of mid-17th century Portuguese hammer-struck silver. The legends run along the periphery identifying the monarch and his dominions. |
