| Obverse description | Central field displays a large Gothic letter R surmounted by a royal crown, flanked by a small star to the left, all set within a beaded inner circle. The crowned R monogram serves as the principal device, referencing the denomination (Real). A circular Latin legend runs along the outer periphery between the inner beaded circle and the coin's irregular hammered rim, partially legible due to strike weakness. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the Portuguese royal arms: a cross pattée formed by five escutcheons, each charged with five bezants (quinas) in saltire, arranged in a cruciform pattern within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of Manueline-era coinage, struck in hammered copper with considerable irregularity. A circular Latin legend encircles the arms between the inner beaded border and the outer rim, reading the royal title of Manuel I, King of Portugal and the Algarves, and Lord of Guinea. |
