Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 160 Réis - João VI (1/2 Pataca) coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1818, and its production was discontinued in 1821, due to the economic crisis caused by the Portuguese monarchy's excessive spending and the country's struggle for independence. Despite its short production period, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
