In the central part is the coat of arms of the Brazilian Empire: the heraldic shield is crowned with the imperial crown and framed on three sides by a wreath formed by branches of a coffee tree on the left and tobacco on the right, tied at the base. On the shield, within a circular band of evenly spaced stars, is depicted an armillary sphere on a background of a cross potent.
