| Additional information |
The pinto was a fractional gold denomination revived under João VI following Brazil's elevation to kingdom status in 1815, part of a broader effort to rationalize Luso-Brazilian coinage after the Portuguese court relocated to Rio de Janeiro in 1808. With the king himself remaining in Brazil until 1821, the Lisbon mint operated at reduced capacity and under considerable administrative strain — output of this type was accordingly limited.
João VI only returned to Lisbon in July 1821 under pressure from the Liberal Revolution of 1820, cutting this issue's production window short.
