Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Moeda - Pedro Prince Regent 1668-1671 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Pedro II, who was the Prince Regent of Portugal from 1668 to 1671. During this time, Portugal was facing economic and political challenges, including a severe famine that affected much of the country. Despite these challenges, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.9167) and weighs 3.1 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
