Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1600 Réis - João V (2nd Type of Shield; Rio de Janeiro) 1736 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, and the coin features the image of King João V of Portugal on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during the reign of King João V, who ruled Portugal from 1706 to 1750, and was used to promote trade and commerce between Portugal and its colonies. Despite being made of gold, this coin was not highly valued during its time and was used primarily for everyday transactions. Today, however, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
