Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 640 Réis - José I (Light Type - Lisbon) coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King José I, who ruled Brazil from 1750 to 1777, and was part of a broader effort to reform the country's currency and economy. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, reflects the colonial relationship between Brazil and Portugal, which was still in place at the time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 640 Réis - José I (Light Type - Lisbon) is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Brazil and its currency.
