Comment
Law 29JUN1854Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 500 Reis - Pedro V 1854 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was issued in 1854, just a few years after the Liberal Revolution of 1846, which had overthrown the monarchy and established a new government. Despite this political upheaval, the coin still features the image of King Pedro V, who ruled Portugal from 1853 until his death in 1861. This coin is a tangible reminder of the tumultuous period in Portuguese history and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
