Interesting fact
The 3 Reis João V coin was minted during a time of great change in Portugal. It was during the reign of King João V (1723-1733) that the country began to modernize and expand its empire, particularly in South America. The coin itself is a symbol of this growth and progress, as it was minted to facilitate trade and commerce within the expanding Portuguese Empire.
