| Reverse description | Standing half-length figure of Saint Vincent facing right, vested in deacon's dalmatic, holding a palm frond in his left hand and a sailing ship — the symbol of Lisbon — in his right hand, rendered in bold hammered relief occupying the central field. The saint's image is depicted in the Gothic stylistic tradition characteristic of Manueline-era Portuguese gold coinage. A continuous Latin legend encircles the figure within a beaded border, invoking the saint as zealot of the faith. |
