Interesting fact
The 3 Réis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of Pedro II (1699-1703), was made of copper and weighed 4.6 grams. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin was an important part of the Portuguese currency system at the time, and it remained in circulation for many years. In fact, it was still being used as legal tender in some parts of the country until the mid-19th century. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians, offering a glimpse into Portugal's rich monetary history.
