Obverse description The crowned Portuguese royal shield occupies the central field, displaying the five quinas (escutcheons) arranged in cross formation with bezants, encircled by a beaded inner border. Flanking the shield on either side are decorative foliate or scroll ornaments. The circumferential legend in Latin runs around the periphery within a beaded outer border, identifying the king as João IV by the grace of God, King of Portugal. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the period, with some weakness in strike visible at the margins.
