Law 29JUN1854Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Reis - Pedro V 1857-1861 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and modernization in Portugal. The coin was introduced in 1857, just a few years after the country had undergone a major reform of its currency and monetary system. The 100 Reis coin was part of a new series of coins that were introduced to replace the old system of currency, which was based on the real and the escudo. The new coins were designed to be more modern and efficient, and they featured a standardized design and denomination system. The 100 Reis coin was one of the most widely used coins in this new series, and it remained in circulation until the early 20th century. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is now highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
