Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 6400 Réis - Maria I and Pedro III (Pattern Type 1 - Rio de Janeiro) 1777-1781 (1777-1786) from Brazil made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Brazil. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Maria I, who ruled Brazil from 1777 to 1816, and her son Pedro III, who ruled from 1781 to 1786. This period saw significant political and social upheaval, including the Inconfidência Mineira, a failed rebellion against Portuguese rule, and the arrival of Portuguese royalty in Brazil, which marked the beginning of the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Brazilian history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
