Interesting fact
The 50 Réis coin was designed by the artist José Simões de Alarcón, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver in Portugal at the time. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the 50 Réis coin features a portrait of King Charles I on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The coin was minted in 1900 and was used as a standard circulation coin in Portugal until the early 20th century. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint-condition coins selling for thousands of dollars.
