 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.
