| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Portuguese royal arms — a quartered shield displaying the escutcheons of Portugal and the castles of the Algarve — set within a plain border. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown of elaborate form. The surrounding circular legend, rendered in Latin capital letters, reads: + SEBASTIANVS : I : REX : PORTVG : ETAL, identifying the issuer as King Sebastian I of Portugal and the Algarves. The design is characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Portuguese royal mint under Sebastian I, exhibiting slightly irregular flan edges typical of the period. |
