Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4000 Réis - Pedro II (Rio de Janeiro) 1699-1700 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, and the coin features an image of King Pedro II of Portugal on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during Pedro II's reign, which lasted from 1683 to 1706, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in Brazil during that time. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not particularly valuable at the time, as the value of gold was not as high as it is today. However, due to its historical significance and rarity, the coin is now highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
