Comment
The coins are referenced in 1st place by the ornamentation around the "X" and, in 2nd place, by the ornamentation around the "J V"Interesting fact
The 10 Reis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of King João V (1712-1721), was part of a broader monetary reform that aimed to stabilize the country's economy and combat inflation. The coin was made of copper and had a weight of 14.86 grams, which was unusual for a coin of its denomination at the time. This coin was also notable for its unique design, featuring an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable today, but it remains an interesting piece of numismatic history.
