C1 E15.01Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5000 Réis - Charles I (Pattern) 1895 from Portugal is that it was designed by the artist José de Almeida, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver in Portugal at the time. The coin features a portrait of King Charles I on one side and an image of the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
