| Obverse description | A semi-draped female figure personifying the river Tagus reclines in high relief amid rocky ruins, recoiling from a large volcanic eruption with billowing clouds of smoke in the left field. Broken ships' masts and debris are visible behind her, while a serpent and olive branch appear to her right. The Latin legend curves along the upper border. |
