| Reverse description | Central field features the crowned royal cipher composed of the interlaced letters 'A' (for Alphonsus/Afonso VI) above the Roman numerals 'XX' denoting the denomination of 20 Réis, all beneath a royal crown. The design is executed in the hammered tradition, with the monogram and numerals occupying the majority of the flan. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, identifying the king as Rex of Portugal and the Algarves. Due to the irregular flan and hammered technique, the legend is frequently incomplete or partially off-flan. |
