| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin features a large armillary sphere at centre, depicted with meridian and parallel lines forming a globe-like grid, surmounted by a cross. The sphere is rendered in fine detail consistent with Portuguese colonial minting practice of the period. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading PECUNIA TOTUM CIRCUMIT ORBEM, a Latin motto translating as 'Money goes around the whole world.' The legend is separated by ornamental stops and rendered in evenly spaced Latin lettering. The overall design is typical of the XX Réis coinage struck for Portuguese Brazil in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. |
