What do the symbols on the Portuguese coat of arms stand for?

The Portuguese coat of arms features a white shield with five blue escutcheons arranged in a cross, each bearing five white dots representing coins or bezants, symbolizing victories over Moorish kings. Surrounding it is a red border with seven golden castles. The sphere behind the shield is an armillary sphere, referencing Portugal's Age of Discovery and maritime history.
