19th century flag with the crown of the kingdom of brazil. Or is it the pattern of the flag of the kingdom of brazil, which was in force from september 18th to the day of the coronation of dom pedro i on october 12th, 1822, in which, according to the minutes of the coronation, the new national weapons of the empire of brazil were presented. Because jb debret's original project needed to be changed at the suggestion of d. Pedro i and taunay himself, in which both the color of the crown and the shape of the shield were changed, which d. Pedro i ordered, without fanfare, to change from the anglo shield pattern to the samitic one, also known as modern french. But as the standard has already undergone changes and still has the royal crown, instead of the imperial one (decree of december 1, 1822), it may be due to the fact that, due to manufacturing errors and the lack of specific manufacturing regulations at the time (at least regulations regarding the matter are still unknown) there were repeated cases of errors of this nature (in the crown). Because it is adorned with golden fringes on the sides, it is because it is a flag for permanent ceremonial use in some public body or the standard of some military corporation. Date: 1820s.
