Comment

The coin was minted at Rio de Janeiro/Brasil. The obverse is the same of the Brazilian coins.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great historical significance for Brazil. The coin was issued during the regency of João, Prince Regent, who ruled Brazil on behalf of his father, King João VI, who had fled to Portugal to escape the Napoleonic Wars. This period saw significant changes in Brazil, including the arrival of Portuguese royalty and the establishment of a new capital city, Rio de Janeiro. The coin's design, featuring the image of João, Prince Regent, serves as a reminder of this important time in Brazilian history.
