| Obverse description | Central field displays the royal cypher 'IO III' (Joannes III) surmounted by a royal crown, below which the denomination mark 'XXXX' (40 Réis) is struck. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan, referencing the king's titles. The overall style is characteristic of Portuguese hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth century, with bold, hand-engraved lettering and uneven relief typical of the period. |
