Interesting fact
The 5 Réis coin was the first coin to feature a portrait of King Luís I of Portugal, who reigned from 1861 until his death in 1889. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1867 and 1879, and it was a significant change from the previous design, which featured an image of the Portuguese crown. The introduction of the king's portrait was a symbol of the shift towards a more modern and centralized monetary system in Portugal.
