Interesting fact

The 5 Réis coin from Portugal, minted in 1836 during the reign of Queen Maria II, was made of copper and weighed 6.77 grams. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin was an important part of the Portuguese currency system at the time, and it remained in circulation for many years. In fact, it was still being used as legal tender until the introduction of the Escudo in 1911, which replaced the Réis as the official currency of Portugal.
