| Reverse description | A bold floriated cross pattée occupies the centre of the field, its four arms terminating in trefoil or clover-shaped finials in the Indo-Portuguese style. The denomination numeral '8' appears to the upper left and the date split as '18' to the lower left and '19' to the lower right of the cross, with the letter 'X' (for Xerafins) to the upper right quadrant. The entire design is enclosed within a wide border of prominent radial denticles. The composition is characteristic of the late colonial Goa mint production under the regency of João. |
