Interesting fact
The 10 Réis coin from Brazil, issued during the reign of Maria I (1786-1796), features an interesting design element - the portrait of the queen on the obverse (front side) has a distinctive "frowning" expression, which was a deliberate choice by the engraver to reflect the queen's strong personality and reputation for being a stern ruler.
