Aanvullende informatie

The Vila Rica mint — established in 1725 in the heart of Minas Gerais — was created specifically to coin gold closer to its source, reducing the chronic losses from transporting raw metal overland to Bahia or Rio de Janeiro. Smuggling had been so rampant along those routes that the Portuguese Crown calculated the new facility would pay for itself within months.

Production at Vila Rica was always tightly supervised by the Crown and notoriously short-lived; the mint operated for barely a decade before political pressure and fiscal reorganization shut it down. Coins from the 1724–1727 window predate even the formal establishment year recorded by some sources, a discrepancy tied to trial strikings authorized before the facility received its full royal charter.
