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. During his reign, Brazil experienced significant economic growth, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the increased demand for currency to facilitate trade and commerce during this period of growth. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
