| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms within a beaded inner circle, flanked on the left by the mintmark 'P' (for Porto) and on the right by the letter 'V' (denoting five vinténs, equivalent to 100 réis). The shield bears the traditional quinas (five escutcheons) of Portugal surmounted by a royal crown in Gothic style. The surrounding circular legend is rendered in Latin within the border, characteristic of Manueline hammered coinage. The overall style reflects the ornate late medieval Portuguese heraldic tradition of the reign of Manuel I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The tostão was introduced under Manuel I as part of a sweeping monetary reform intended to rationalize Portugal's coinage during the height of Manueline expansion — the same years Magellan's fleet departed Seville and Portuguese factors were establishing themselves across the Indian Ocean. The Porto mint, identified by its characteristic P-V mark, operated under close crown supervision during this period, though its output was consistently lower than Lisbon's.
Gomes distinguishes two dies for this type, E1 59 and E1 60, differentiated by subtle legend spacing and punch details rather than any structural design change.
