Is there such a thing as a 1839 Portuguese 40 reis coin

[sir]

I've looked at books and searched the internet but all sources seem to state that my particular coin was minted only up to 1833 yet it CLEARY shows the year 1839. The only reason i could find is maybe their 2s look too much like 9s. Is that the case .

Base Pre-Decimal Coins of the Kings and Queens of Portugal, (including the 40-reis which was first minted during the 1792-1826 reign of John V), were minted between 1580 and 1836. The 40-reis coin was minted in both silver and base metals through 1836 when decimal coins were introduced. Post-1836 coinage (at least through 1910) did NOT include a 40-reis denomination.
