Interesting fact

The coin was issued in 1838, just a year after the Liberal Revolution, which saw the end of the Portuguese monarchy and the establishment of a liberal constitutional monarchy. This period of political upheaval and transition is reflected in the design of the coin, which features an image of Queen Maria II on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
