Interesting fact
The 10 Réis coin from Portugal, minted between 1777 and 1785 during the reign of Maria I and Pedro III, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins without the hole. This unique feature makes the 10 Réis coin stand out among other coins from the same period and adds an extra layer of authenticity to its design.
