One interesting fact about the 6400 Réis - João V (2nd Type of Shield; Bahia) 1727-1734 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 reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled Brazil as a Portuguese colony. The coin's design features the Portuguese shield and the inscription "HISPANIARUM REX" (King of the Spains), reflecting Brazil's status as a Portuguese colony at the time. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
