Interesting fact

The João Prince Regent (Pattern) 1811 coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, Joaquim José da Silva. He was a prominent artist and engraver of the time, and his work can be found on many other coins and currency from Portugal and other countries. This particular coin features a portrait of João, the Prince Regent of Portugal, on one side, and an image of the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. It's a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples in existence, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
