One interesting fact about the 3 Réis "Daguini" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Maria II of Portugal, who was only 11 years old when she ascended to the throne in 1837. Despite her young age, she ruled for 33 years and played a significant role in shaping Portugal's history. The coin's design, featuring a crowned shield with the Portuguese coat of arms, reflects the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
