| Obverse description | Central crowned royal shield of Portugal, displaying the traditional arrangement of quinas and castles, set within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in relief. A circular Latin legend runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer rim, reading +EMANVEL:P:R:P:ET:A:D:G, identifying the issuer as Manuel I, King of Portugal and the Algarves, by the Grace of God. The overall design is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Portuguese hammered gold coinage, with bold, deeply struck devices typical of the Lisbon mint. |
