Interesting fact
The 10 Réis coin was a significant denomination during the reign of King José I, and it was widely used in trade and commerce. However, due to the high inflation rate during this period, the purchasing power of the coin decreased significantly over time. In fact, by the end of José I's reign, the 10 Réis coin was worth only a fraction of its original value, making it an interesting example of how economic conditions can impact the value of currency.
