| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination 'XX' in large characters surmounted by a royal crown, with the date 1719 inscribed below between dots, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads IOANNES.V.DG.PET.BRASIL.REX, referencing King João V of Portugal. This obverse derives from the host coin, a 20 Réis piece struck under João V, which was subsequently countermarked by order of the Prince Regent to circulate as 40 Réis in 1809. The overall design retains the original die workmanship of the early 18th-century Lisbon Mint. |
