| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural depiction of the fortified city of Ceuta, shown as a multi-tiered castle or citadel with crenellated towers, arched gateways, and battlemented walls rendered in fine hammered relief. The structure occupies the full width of the central field, conveying the strategic importance of Ceuta as a Portuguese stronghold in North Africa. A beaded border frames the design, with a partial Latin circumscription appearing in the upper portion of the legend band. The overall execution is characteristic of mid-fifteenth century Portuguese hammered gold coinage produced at the Ceuta mint. |
