| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned royal arms of Portugal — the escutcheon bearing the five quinas (roundels arranged in cross formation) — set within an elaborate crowned shield, typical of Manueline-influenced die work. The arms are encircled by a beaded inner ring. A broad outer legend in Gothic Latin lettering runs along the full circumference of the coin, naming João III with his royal titles encompassing Portugal, the Algarves, Guinea, Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India. The mint mark D-O for Porto appears integrated within the legend. The overall design is characteristic of large Portuguese gold coinage of the early sixteenth century, struck on a broad, irregularly shaped hammered flan. |
