Interesting fact
The 10 Réis coin was the first coin to feature the portrait of King João VI, who ruled Portugal from 1816 to 1826. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Portugal, as the country was in the process of transitioning from a colonial power to a constitutional monarchy. The coin's design reflects this shift, as it features a more modern and realistic portrait of the king, rather than the traditional allegorical imagery found on earlier Portuguese coins.
