Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2000 Reis - Luiz I 1868-1888 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1868, just a year after the fall of the Portuguese monarchy and the establishment of the First Portuguese Republic. Despite this political upheaval, the coin remained in circulation until 1888, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Portugal during this time period.
