Interesting fact
The 5 Reis coin was minted during the reign of Queen Maria I, who was known as "Maria the Pious" or "Maria the Mad" due to her religious devotion and alleged mental health issues. Despite these challenges, she ruled Portugal for 39 years and implemented several important reforms, including the creation of a new coinage system that included the 5 Reis coin.
