Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3200 Réis - João V (2nd Type of Shield; Bahia) 1727-1729 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King João V, who ruled Brazil from 1706 to 1750.
