Beschrijving voorzijde The Portuguese royal arms, depicting the crowned shield of Portugal charged with five escutcheons in saltire and a bordure of castles, is displayed at the centre of a terrestrial globe rendered with meridian and latitude lines and flanked by laurel branches at the base. The entire device is encircled by a beaded inner border and surrounded by the Latin legend CIRCUMIT.ORBEM PECUNIA.TOTUM, separated by pellets, running along the outer rim. The composition alludes to the global reach of the Portuguese monetary system under the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.

Aanvullende informatie

João VI issued this coinage for Mozambique while still ruling from Rio de Janeiro, having relocated the Portuguese court to Brazil in 1807 following Napoleon's invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. Portuguese colonial copper for East Africa was chronically undersupplied throughout this period, and locally countermarked or improvised currency filled the gap for decades. The 1820 date places this piece in the final months before the Liberal Revolution in Porto forced João's reluctant return to Lisbon in 1821, effectively ending the Brazilian interlude that had restructured the entire Portuguese empire.
