Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Réis - João VI (Lisboa) 1825 coin from São Tomé and Príncipe is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued in 1825, just a few years after the Portuguese Empire had abolished the slave trade in 1823. This was a significant step towards the abolition of slavery in São Tomé and Príncipe, which was a major producer of cocoa and other crops using slave labor. The coin's mintage also coincided with the rise of the Liberal Revolution in Portugal, which aimed to establish a constitutional monarchy and promote economic and social reforms. These historical events surrounding the coin's production make it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
