Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Atiá "4 Duganis" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maria I, also known as Maria the Pious, who was the Queen of Portugal from 1777 until her death in 1816. She was known for her strong support of the Catholic Church and her efforts to maintain Portugal's power and influence in the world. The coin's design, featuring an image of Maria I on one side and the value "4 Duganis" on the other, reflects the importance of the Portuguese monarchy and the value of the coin in the economy of the time.
