Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Réis - Pedro II (Pernambuco) ND (1700-1702) coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Pedro II, who ruled Brazil from 1831 to 1853. During his reign, Brazil experienced significant economic growth and modernization, including the construction of railroads, the expansion of trade, and the abolition of slavery. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 0.6 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
