Comment
6400 Réis = 1 Peça (also known as 1 Dobra of 4 Escudos)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6400 Réis - João V (1st Type of Shield; Bahia) 1727-1730 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during the reign of King João V, who was known for his lavish spending and love of luxury. This is reflected in the coin's high gold content, which was unusual for a circulating coin at the time. The coin's design, featuring a shield with the Portuguese coat of arms, was also a symbol of the king's power and influence. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
