| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned Portuguese royal arms — a quartered shield bearing the quinas (five escutcheons in saltire) and the bordure of castles — set within a plain inner circle. The denomination numeral 40 appears to the left of the shield. The circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads PETRVS·II·DG PORT·REX·E·BD, identifying the issuer as Pedro II, by the Grace of God King of Portugal and Lord of Brazil. The coin's milled edge is visible as a series of fine radial serrations bordering the entire flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1699, Brazil's colonial mint at Rio de Janeiro was operating under chronic pressure — silver from the interior was inconsistently supplied, and the Crown's demand for fractional coinage to service small transactions in the captaincies outpaced what the mint could reliably produce. Pedro II had already weathered the disruptive Restoration wars and the economic strains of rebuilding Portuguese trade networks, and his colonial mints were expected to compensate for shortfalls the Lisbon establishment could not cover.
The Bentes reference range 91.01–91.04 reflects documented die variations across this single year's production — an unusually wide spread for such a small fractional piece.
