| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the Portuguese royal shield (escudo), depicting five escutcheons arranged in a quincunx pattern, each charged with five bezants, within a plain border. The shield is set directly in the coin's field without additional ornamentation, consistent with the Burgundian dynastic heraldic tradition. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, contained between two beaded borders. The overall style is characteristic of medieval Iberian hammered coinage, with somewhat irregular flan shaping. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fernando I's reign was defined almost entirely by three ruinous wars against Castile, and his coinage policy reflected the fiscal desperation that came with them. The Porto mint was active in producing billon issues precisely because the crown needed metal in circulation but lacked the silver reserves to back anything finer. Billon at .375 fineness was already a significant concession in quality.
The Gomes reference Fe 76 places this among the earlier tornês escudo types of his reign, before the monetary reforms forced further debasement in later issues.
