Comment
Gomes 2013: M2 03.01Interesting fact
The 20 Réis coin from Madeira Islands (Portugal) made of Copper weighing 26g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Queen Maria II, who was only 11 years old when she ascended to the throne in 1837. Despite her young age, she ruled Portugal for 29 years and played an important role in the country's transition from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
