Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Réis - Charles I (Pattern) 1899 was a trial coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1899 as a potential new design for the 20 réis coin, but it was ultimately rejected and never widely produced. As a result, it is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
