Comment
These coins were minted for Brazil. It appears however that the dates 1715, 1718, 1719, 1720, 1735, 1736, 1746 and 1749 may have circulated in Angola despite never having been found there. Only by tradition do we keep them cataloged here.Interesting fact
The 10 Réis coin from Angola, minted during the reign of King Joao V (1715-1749), was made of copper and weighed 7.64 grams. Despite its relatively small size, this coin was an important part of the currency system in Angola during the 18th century, and it features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture.
