Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Réis - João V coin is that it was minted in two different locations, Lisbon and Bahia, which is reflected in the coin's design. The crown on the obverse side of the coin features 4 arches for coins minted in Lisbon, and 5 arches for coins minted in Bahia. This difference in design allows collectors to distinguish between the two mintages.
