Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6400 Réis - Maria I (1st Type - Widow's Veil; Rio de Janeiro and Bahia Mints) 1786-1790 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the economy and combating inflation, which had risen significantly in the late 18th century due to the country's involvement in the Portuguese colonial wars. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained in circulation for several decades and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
