This silver 640 réis was minted at the Rio mint 1791-1802. These coins would have traded in the 18th century as two-thirds of a Spanish dollar. In 1768 the weight of this denomination was lowered from 19.32 grams to 17.80 grams. Earlier silver 640 réis are known, starting in 1695. Many are priced very low in the SCWC but remain very hard to find. The specimen was lot 20460 in Heritage sale 3009 (Chicago, April 2010), where it sold for $1,265. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Maria I 640 Reis 1791R, nicely toned VF with bold features, small rim nick on the reverse at 7 o'clock. Rare date and the high crown variety." The SCWC lists 1794-R, 1800-R and 1802-R as common for the type, which was also produced at Bahia ([[Brazil 1803-B 640 reis|KM 231.2]]).
