Comment

One interesting fact about the 3200 Réis - João V (4th Type of Shield; Bahia) coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic growth and cultural development in Brazil, particularly in the region of Bahia. The coin's design, featuring the Portuguese shield and the inscription "3200 Réis" on one side and the image of King João V on the other, reflects the country's colonial history and its ties to Portugal. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.917) and weighs 7.17 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
