| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Gothic letter R, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in relief. The crown serves as the primary dynastic symbol, denoting the monetary authority of King João III of Portugal. A circular legend in Latin runs along the periphery of the flan. The striking is characteristic of hammered coinage, resulting in an irregular planchet with uneven relief across the field. |
