Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6400 Réis - John, Prince Regent (Rio de Janeiro) 1805-1817 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was issued during the regency of John, Prince Regent, who ruled Brazil on behalf of his father, King João VI of Portugal, who had fled to Brazil to escape the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. This period saw significant economic growth and development in Brazil, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. The 6400 Réis coin, made of gold and weighing 14.34 grams, was a symbol of this growth and prosperity, and it remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
