| 正面描述 | The obverse displays the crowned Portuguese royal shield at center, quartered with the five quinas (bezants arranged in a cross pattern) on a plain field, surmounted by a royal crown of ornate Gothic form. The letter 'V' appears in the left or right field flanking the shield, serving as a mint or die variety marker. A circular beaded inner border separates the central device from the surrounding legend, which reads in Gothic-style Latin characters. The hammered flan gives the piece a characteristic irregular outline typical of late medieval Portuguese coinage. |

The tostão was introduced under Manuel I as part of a broad monetary reform tied directly to Portugal's expanding Atlantic and Indian Ocean trade networks — the crown needed reliable, high-value silver coins that foreign merchants would accept without dispute. At .916 fine, these pieces were struck to a standard that held up well against contemporary European issues.
The Gomes references E1 55 and E1 56 distinguish the two positional variants of the mint mark — the V appearing either before or after the cross on the reverse. Whether this reflects sequential die preparation or overlapping production runs at the Lisbon mint remains debated among specialists.
