The highest valued coin in Governor King's proclamation was Brazil/Portugal's colonial gold Johanna. The denomination was also known as the 'Dobra' and was equivalent to 12,800 Reis in Portugal (8 Spanish Escudos) and its colonies. King, gave the coin a value of £4. The coin, struck in 22 carat (.917 fine) gold in medal rotation weighed 28.68 grams and contained .85 of an ounce of gold.
In 1722, John V of Portugal introduced a new coinage based on the Spanish gold escudo. The design was the royal bust and title on the obverse and the crowned Arms of Portugal within a decorative shield on the reverse. A popular name for these portrait pieces was 'Joeys' or 'Joes' from the royal title on the coins - Joannes (John V, 1706-1750) and Josephus (Joseph I, 1750-77). The coins are also referred to as 'Portuguese Pieces' or 'Port Pieces'. The Johanna was struck for a period of only ten years between 1722 and 1733 in the reign of John V.
