Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 30 Reis coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of João, Prince of Brazil, who later became King João VI of Portugal. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which saw the introduction of new coinage and the reform of the Portuguese currency. The 30 Reis coin was an important denomination at the time and was widely used in trade and commerce.
