Along the upper edge of the coin from left to right is a Latin inscription 'IN HOC SIGNO VINCES', meaning 'In this sign, you shall conquer'. All words, including the beginning and end of the inscription, are separated by raised cross-shaped elements. In the center 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 pattée.

The edge of the coin features decorative raised denticles. Along the rim: on the left, top, and right is a Latin inscription 'PETRUS. II. D.G.CONST. IMP. ET. PERP. BRAS.DEF.', translating to 'Peter II, by the Grace of God and the Constitution, Emperor of Brazil'; at the bottom is the mint year '1824. R', flanked on both sides by raised cross-shaped elements. The symbol 'R' is the mint mark for Rio de Janeiro. In the center, within a circular wreath, are large numerals '160', evenly surrounded by eight four-petaled flowers.
