Interesting fact

The 10 Réis coin was the first coin to feature a portrait of King Luís I of Portugal, who reigned from 1861 until his death in 1889. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1867 and 1874, and it was a significant change from the previous design, which featured an image of the Portuguese crown. The introduction of the king's portrait was seen as a symbol of the growing power and influence of the Portuguese monarchy during that time.
