Comment
This type is the largest silver coin (in value, diameter and weight) since the monetary changeover and adoption of the decimal system.The "1000 reis" is also called "Coroa" in Portuguese, meaning "crown", certainly copied from the English "crown", to which Portugal is closely related.
This type of coin was not reissued until years later by Kings Carlos I and Emmanuel I (25 grs version).
Interesting fact
The 1000 Reis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of Maria II (1837-1845), features an interesting design element - the portrait of the queen on the obverse side is surrounded by a wreath made of coffee branches, which was a nod to Portugal's colonial interests in Brazil, where coffee was a major export crop.
