| Reverse description | Central cross of the Military Order of Christ (Cruz de Cristo), rendered with splayed terminals, occupying the principal field of the reverse. A small rosette ornament is placed at each of the four corners formed by the cross arms, with an additional pellet or point at each upper terminal, creating a decorative and heraldic composition. The circumferential legend IN HOC SIGNO VINCES — 'In this sign thou shalt conquer' — surrounds the design within a beaded border, referencing the Constantinian motto adopted by the Portuguese Military Orders. The overall design is consistent with the first series tostão coinage struck for João IV at the Lisbon mint. |
