Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Peça coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Portugal. The coin was issued during the reign of João Prince Regent, who was the regent for King João VI, who was absent from the country at the time. The coin's mintage was a result of a decree issued by the Prince Regent in 1805, which aimed to address the economic crisis caused by the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the ½ Peça coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
