| Reverse description | The face value expressed in Roman numerals 'XL' (40 Réis, the host coin denomination) displayed prominently in the central field beneath a laurel wreath. The date appears below the numerals in the exergue, with the surrounding circular legend referencing Prince Regent João. A countermark was applied to reduce the coin's face value from 40 to 20 Réis as part of a monetary revaluation decree. The overall design follows standard Portuguese colonial copper coinage conventions of the period. |
