Tostão - João IV Porto mint

正面描述	Central crowned Portuguese royal arms shield displaying the quintas (five escutcheons arranged in cross) and the bordure of castles, surmounted by a royal crown in high relief. Two pellets flank the shield at mid-field, serving as decorative separators. The surrounding circular legend, rendered in Latin, reads +IOANNES.IIII DG.REX.POR, identifying João IV as King of Portugal by the grace of God. The entire design is struck within a plain border typical of hammered coinage of the period, with characteristically uneven flan edges.

背面描述	Central plain open cross with four P mint marks (for Porto) positioned one in each angle of the cross, denoting the Porto mint. The cross is set within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circular Latin legend +IN HOC SIGNO VINCES PP PP runs around the periphery, referencing the Constantinian motto 'In this sign thou shalt conquer.' The design is boldly struck but shows typical irregularity of hammered technique, with the legend occasionally weak at the margins. The overall composition is austere and heraldic in character.
