Comment
Coin MCM 23955 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
The Pattern 500 Reis - Luis I (Pattern) 1863-1864 from Portugal, made of Copper weighing 7.58g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for use. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
