Comment
Minted to Goiás and Mato Grosso states. Small module.Interesting fact
The 40 Réis coin featuring João Prince Regent (to Goiás and Mato Grosso) 1818 from Brazil made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was issued during the regency period, when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, and it was used as a means of promoting the new prince regent, João, who was appointed by the Portuguese king to govern the colony. The coin's design features the prince's image on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between Portugal and Brazil. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a departure from the traditional gold and silver coins that were previously used, reflecting the economic constraints of the time. This coin is a unique piece of Brazilian history and a reminder of the country's transition towards independence.
