    Tom,the obverse with the 5 crosses is very familiar to me,but the reverse isn't,I'm afraid.It is a pity that we haven't got a Portuguese coin expert on board.

    Tom,I have also seen a design similar to the Jerusalem Cross on colonial Brazilian coins,but it has an armilliary sphere in the Brazilian design.

    I'm sure it isn't from Portugal or Brazil.
    can you get a pic from it ?
