This two coins were mint to Azores but, by law "ALVARÁ 25SEP1800" became current in PortugalInteresting fact
The 5 Réis coin from Portugal, featuring João Prince Regent, was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1800-1801, a period when Portugal was facing a severe economic crisis, and the government was struggling to maintain the value of its currency. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination during this time and continued to circulate until the early 19th century. This fact highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Portuguese people during times of crisis, and the importance of currency in the daily lives of people during this period.
