| Obverse description | Central crowned Portuguese royal shield of arms set within a beaded inner circle, flanked by the mint mark letters 'V' and 'L' on either side — 'V' denoting five vintens (5 × 20 = 100 Reais) and 'L' identifying the Lisbon mint. The royal arms display the traditional quinas (five escutcheons) of Portugal in the characteristic Manueline heraldic style. A circumferential legend in Latin runs along the outer border within a beaded rim. The overall design reflects the bold, slightly irregular character typical of hammered coinage of the early sixteenth-century Portuguese royal mint. |
