| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large cross of the Order of Christ at center, its arms terminating with decorative finials and flanked in each quadrant by groups of pellets or quinas, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES — the Constantinian motto meaning 'In this sign you shall conquer' — runs around the outer border in Latin characters separated by pellets, reflecting the deeply religious character of Portuguese imperial coinage of the Habsburg period. |
