Interesting fact

The 40 Réis coin from Brazil, minted during the reign of João VI (1818-1823), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Portuguese coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a departure from the traditional Portuguese coinage design, which typically featured the monarch's portrait. Instead, the 40 Réis coin highlighted the country's national symbols, reflecting Brazil's growing sense of national identity during this period.
