| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a detailed armillary sphere — the dynastic symbol of the Portuguese Crown and emblem of the Kingdom of Brazil — rendered with meridian and parallel bands crossing a central globe, surmounted by a small orb at the apex and resting on a support at the base. The mint mark letter B (for Bahia) is engraved diagonally across the equatorial band of the sphere. The circular Latin motto PECUNIA·TOTUM·CIRCUMIT·ORBEM (Money travels around the whole world) surrounds the device between a beaded inner circle and a toothed outer rim. The overall composition reflects the standard reverse type employed on Brazilian copper coinage of the Prince Regent period. |

João had been governing Brazil as Prince Regent since fleeing Lisbon with the entire Portuguese court in 1807, one step ahead of Napoleon's invasion. By 1818, when this piece was struck, he had already elevated Brazil to the status of a kingdom co-equal with Portugal — a political maneuver unprecedented in colonial history. The Rio de Janeiro mint was producing copper coinage for a circulation economy that had expanded dramatically with the opening of Brazilian ports to foreign trade in 1808, a decree issued within days of the court's arrival in Salvador.
