Interesting fact
This coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, Joaquim José de Sousa, who was known for his work in engraving and medal design. The coin features a portrait of King João VI on one side and an image of the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The Pattern 10 Réis coin was minted in 1820 as a trial piece, and only a small number of them were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
