| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the crowned Portuguese royal arms — an oval shield bearing the traditional quinas (five escutcheons arranged in cross form, each charged with five bezants) and a bordure of castles — set within a beaded inner circle. The royal crown surmounts the shield. The Latin legend IOANNES IIII D G REX PORTVGALIE runs along the outer circumference, partially visible on this hammered flan. The design is executed in the late medieval Portuguese heraldic tradition characteristic of the Restoration-era coinage of João IV. |
