Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin ¼ Macuta - João Prince Regent (Rio de Janeiro/Brazil) 1814-1815 from Angola made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was issued during the regency of João, Prince Regent, who ruled Brazil on behalf of his father, King João VI, who had fled to Portugal to escape the invading forces of Napoleon. This coin was minted using copper, which was a common metal used for coinage during this time period, and it features an image of João, Prince Regent, on one side and the Portuguese royal crest on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in the collections of many coin collectors and museums around the world.
