Interesting fact

The 20 Réis coin was the first coin to feature a portrait of King Luís I of Portugal, who reigned from 1861 to 1889. The coin was minted during his reign and features a bronze composition, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds significant historical value and is sought after by collectors today.
