| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts an armillary sphere rendered in bold relief, showing intersecting bands representing celestial circles and a sunburst motif at the upper pole, characteristic of Portuguese colonial coinage symbolism. No mintmark is present in the field. The circumferential Latin legend is separated from the central device by a toothed or beaded border, encircling the sphere completely. The overall design is deeply struck with a somewhat crude, provincial character consistent with copper coinage of the Estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This copper issue belongs to a short-lived administrative experiment: the Estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão, a quasi-autonomous trading company-state established by Pombal's precursor reforms in 1751 — though this piece predates even that formalization, struck in Lisbon for anticipated colonial circulation. Northern Brazil's vast river trade required small-denomination copper that Spanish colonial reales couldn't adequately serve. Coins struck in Lisbon for specific Brazilian administrative regions are uncommon in the broader Portuguese colonial series, and this type saw limited production runs before the Pombaline reorganizations rendered the issuing authority obsolete within a decade.
