Interesting fact

The 10 Réis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of Maria II (1840-1853), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the arms of the Kingdom of Portugal on one side, and the royal coat of arms on the other. This design was a departure from the previous coinage designs, which featured a more traditional depiction of the monarch. This change in design was a deliberate choice to emphasize the power and authority of the Portuguese crown.
