Interesting fact
The 20 Réis - Maria II (Loios) 1833 coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Queen Maria II of Portugal, who ruled from 1826 to 1853. The coin features an image of the Queen on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of copper and had a diameter of 27mm. It's interesting to note that the coin was issued during a time of great change and political instability in Portugal, with the country facing economic challenges and political unrest. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history and a testament to the resilience of the Portuguese people during this time.
