Interesting fact

The 5 Réis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of Maria II (1840-1853), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the arms of Portugal surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used to symbolize the country's rich history and its connection to the House of Braganza, the ruling dynasty at the time.
