Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Réis - Maria I (Small Type; Lisbon) 1799 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Maria I, who ruled Brazil from 1777 to 1816. During her reign, Brazil experienced significant economic growth and development, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the increased demand for currency to facilitate trade and commerce during this period of growth. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring an image of the Queen on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, reflects the colonial relationship between Brazil and Portugal at the time.
