| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dashed inner ring borders the reverse, within which the crowned Imperial Arms of Brazil are prominently displayed at center. The shield is surmounted by the Imperial Crown and flanked symmetrically by branches of tobacco and coffee, the primary agricultural emblems of the Brazilian Empire, their stems joined at the base. Arching above the entire composition is the Latin motto IN HOC S. VINCES, an abbreviation of IN HOC SIGNO VINCES, rendered in clear, evenly spaced lettering. The heraldic design is precisely engraved, reflecting the formal imperial iconography adopted under Pedro II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brazil's first Pedro II coinage was authorized as the young emperor approached his majority — he had taken the throne at fourteen following his father's abdication in 1831, with a regency governing in his name until 1840. These early silver issues were struck at the Casa da Moeda do Rio de Janeiro during a period of chronic political instability, including the Farroupilha separatist revolt in the south, which ran almost the entire length of this type's production window.
The .917 fineness matches colonial-era Brazilian silver standards, maintained deliberately to retain merchant confidence during the transition to a fully sovereign monetary system after independence from Portugal in 1822.
