On the picture I see the bow, but where is the actual arrow?

Sebastian, king of Portugal, was born on San Sebastian day, killed by arrows. So the arrows became a royal symbol.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Just as a point of interest the arrows placed in either side of the date indicates a change in weight from 6.22 grams to 6.25 grams. The 1873 also had these arrows but they were removed starting with the 1875 mintage.
