Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Reis - Luiz I 1864-1866 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Luiz I, who ruled Portugal from 1861 until his death in 1889. During his reign, Portugal underwent significant modernization and industrialization, and the coinage was updated to reflect these changes. The 2000 Reis coin was one of the first coins to be minted in gold, and it was intended to be used as a standard circulation coin. However, due to its high value and the fact that it was made of gold, it was not widely used in everyday transactions and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
