Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 400 Réis - José I (Colonial Coinage) 1755 from Mozambique is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a European monarch, King José I of Portugal, on a coin minted in a Portuguese colony. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring an image of the Virgin Mary or other religious symbols on colonial coins, and marked a shift towards a more secular and royalist approach to coinage in the Portuguese colonies.
