The obverse depicts a three-towered castle above rows of waves and the reverse a square-topped shield bearing the arms of Portugal. The legends are illegible. The possible coin measures approximately 16.5 mm diameter, 0.67 mm thick and weighs 0.94 grams. For further PAS database examples, cf.: LON-C05BD4; LON-BF9534; IOW-13FC24.
