The shield displays the traditional Portuguese quinas (five escutcheons in cross arrangement) with castles on the bordure, surmounted by a royal crown. The mint mark letters Λ (above) and I (below) flank the shield at left and right respectively. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a circular Latin legend running along the outer periphery. |
