| 背面描述 | The reverse features a large armillary sphere at center, depicted with bold meridian and parallel bands forming a detailed grid pattern, set against a plain field and flanked by a continuous inner bead border. The sphere rests on a small suspension ring at its base, above a mint mark. The circular Latin legend PECUNIA·TOTUM·CIRCUMIT·ORBEM — meaning 'Money travels around the whole world' — surrounds the central device, a motto emblematic of Portuguese maritime and commercial reach. The lettering appears in relief against the flat field, and the entire design is framed by a finely reeded outer rim consistent with milled coinage production. |

When Portugal faced a chronic copper shortage in Brazil during the late eighteenth century, the Crown's solution was pragmatic to the point of bluntness: stamp existing 40 Réis pieces with a crowned globe countermark and declare them double their face value. No new metal, no new dies for a full strike — just administrative fiat applied with a hand punch.
The countermarking campaign ran across multiple Brazilian mints, and the underlying host coins vary considerably in their original condition and provenance. Authentication hinges almost entirely on the countermark itself, as spurious applications were known even in period.
