Interesting fact
The 5 Reis coin from João V's reign (1723-1736) was the first coin to feature the portrait of a Portuguese king. Prior to this, Portuguese coins had featured the royal coat of arms or other symbols, but not a personal portrait of the monarch. This change in design was a significant departure from traditional Portuguese coinage and reflected the growing influence of European artistic styles and the desire to promote the king's image and authority.
