| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length standing figure of Saint Vincent, patron saint of Portugal and Lisbon, depicted in deacon's vestments and a plumed helmet-like headpiece, holding a model of a sailing vessel (carrack) in his right hand and a palm frond in his left — emblems of his martyrdom and Portugal's maritime dominion. The saint is rendered in bold hammered relief with strong Gothic stylization. The surrounding peripheral legend in Latin reads ZELATOR : FIDEI : VSQVE : AD : MORTEM, meaning 'Zealot of the Faith even unto Death,' a deeply devotional inscription befitting the reign of Sebastião I. The design fills the flan with characteristic irregularity of hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sebastião I came to the throne in 1557 at age three, under the regency of his grandmother Catherine of Austria. This issue belongs to the earliest phase of his reign, struck before the regency coinage conventions were fully rationalized. The São Vicente type draws its name from the patron saint of Lisbon, whose inclusion on royal Portuguese gold reflected a deliberate policy of tying crown authority to ecclesiastical legitimacy — particularly important during a minority reign vulnerable to political challenge.
Gomes 68 is among the scarcer Sebastião gold types, with surviving examples frequently showing uneven surfaces from planchet preparation rather than circulation wear.
