The marker is a pentagon, a five-sided shield that differs from the rounded federal shields used on Brazil's national roads. Inside it, the letters MG sit above the number 199. The layout is symmetrical and uncluttered, so the code is the only point of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMG is the state code for Minas Gerais, and the pentagonal shield marks a state-level route rather than a federal one. Pairing the code with its number tells a driver which state road they are on, and the difference in shape signals the level of government that maintains it. The design captures the way Brazil's road signs layer national and regional identity on the same sheet of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLife on the Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand, so the pentagon comes around slowly, its angled corners and inner border passing across the eye one side at a time. The crisp black lettering stays clear against the smooth white surface, and the compact five-sided form sits neatly on the curve of the cup. It is a good fit for anyone who likes a little regional character with their morning coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53148585263384,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG199-11OZ","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53148585296152,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG199-15OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-199-brazil-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG199-11OZ-front.webp?v=1793834386","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-199-brazil-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
