| Obverse description | The central field displays the Portuguese royal coat of arms — a shield bearing the quinas (five escutcheons) and the bordure of castles — surmounted by a crown. The shield is set within a decorated frame with floral ornaments at the base. A circular legend surrounds the device, separated by small decorative stops. |
