Comment
The Krausse catalog mistakenly considers that the 1830 "V" and "X" Réis coins would only run on Terceira Island. In reality they ran on all the islands. See topic:with more details
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Réis - Maria II (London) 1830 coin from Azores (Portugal) is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portugal. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Maria II, who ruled Portugal from 1826 until her death in 1853. During her reign, Portugal faced many challenges, including political instability, economic difficulties, and social unrest. Despite these challenges, the 10 Réis coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout Portugal and its colonies, including the Azores. Today, the coin is a valuable collector's item and a reminder of Portugal's rich history and cultural heritage.
