Comment
6400 Réis = 1 Peça (also known as 1 Dobra of 4 Escudos)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6400 Réis - João V (3rd Type of Shield; Bahia) 1729-1732 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, who ruled Portugal and its colonies, including Brazil, from 1706 to 1750. During this time, Brazil was experiencing significant growth and development, with the discovery of gold and diamond deposits in the late 17th and early 18th centuries leading to an increase in trade and commerce. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing economic activity in Brazil and the need for a standardized form of currency.
