Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1100 Réis - Pedro II coin is that it was issued during a time of great change in Portugal. King Pedro II, who ruled from 1683 to 1706, was instrumental in modernizing the country and implementing various reforms. This coin, bearing his name and image, was minted during his reign and features a unique countermark, the "Crowned Sphere" and "1100" over ¼ Moeda, Afonso VI, which sets it apart from other coins of the time. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.6 grams, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
