| Reverse description | The reverse presents a cross pattée at centre, formed by the intersection of two broad, flat-ended arms dividing the field into four quadrants, each filled with decorative elements consistent with the Portuguese vintem type. The die retains the name of the preceding monarch João IV, creating the characteristic hybrid attribution. A beaded border encircles the composition, with the partially visible Latin legend IOANNES · IIII · D · G · R distributed around the periphery, referencing João IV's royal titulature. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked, as is typical of hammered silver pieces of this transitional period. |
