Comment
Interesting fact
The 20 Réis coin was the first coin to feature a portrait of King Luiz I, who ruled Portugal from 1861 until his death in 1889. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1867 and 1874, and it was a significant departure from previous Portuguese coins, which had featured an image of the Portuguese crown. The introduction of the king's portrait on the coin was seen as a symbol of the growing power and influence of the Portuguese monarchy during this period.
