Interesting fact

The 10 Reis coin from João Prince Regent's era (1812-1813) was the first coin to feature the portrait of a Portuguese monarch, which was a departure from the previous design that featured an allegorical figure representing the kingdom. This change in design was a significant departure from the traditional coinage of Portugal and marked a new era in the country's numismatic history.
