Interesting fact
The 5 Réis - Maria II 1843 coin from Azores (Portugal) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Portugal. The coin was minted in 1843, just a year after the Liberal Revolution of 1842, which saw the end of the absolute monarchy and the beginning of a constitutional monarchy. This period of change and political upheaval is reflected in the design of the coin, which features an image of Queen Maria II on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the new political order and the power of the Portuguese monarchy.
