The 4000 Réis RRRR coins come in 3 types of crown (large, low and high), which are easily identifiable by their dates:
+ Type 1: Large Crown - found on dates 1707-1712.
+ Type 2: Low Crown - found on dates 1713-1715.
+ Type 3: High Crown - found on dates 1716-1727.
The difficulty in finding such coins increases with the type of crown. Type 1 are scarce, along with Type 2, with Type 3 being the most common. From 1718 onwards, with the exception of 1719, coins with two different types of crown were minted.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4000 Réis - João V (Rio de Janeiro) 1707-1727 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony. The coin features the image of King João V of Portugal on one side and the coat of arms of Brazil on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic growth and development in Brazil, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not highly valued at the time, and its value has increased significantly over time due to its rarity and historical significance. Today, it is considered a valuable collector's item and a piece of Brazilian history.
