Comment

Until recently, this series was considered to be from the Azores.
Studies by Engº Trigueiros based on documentation from the Casa da Moeda and the Civil Government of Funchal concluded, in 2019, that this series never circulated in the Azores but rather in Madeira

Interesting fact

The 10 Réis coin from Madeira Islands (Portugal) made of Copper and weighing 12.8g was minted during the reign of King José I in 1750. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time when Madeira Islands were still a Portuguese colony, and it's a testament to the island's rich history and cultural heritage.
