AD Portuguese coin design; obverse: crown surmounting shield, garbled legend including 'REX'; reverse: voided equal armed cross with 5 pellet-rings in between each of the arms, garbled legend; 2 silver rings at the bottom of the flan, perhaps for attachment of additional pendants, single suspension loop at top broken through, chain missing.
