Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 400 Réis - João V (Goa) 1735-1745 coin from Mozambique is that it was issued during the reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were meant to circulate in the Portuguese colonies, including Mozambique. Despite being minted in the 18th century, this coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
