Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 2/4 Réis coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of João, Prince of Portugal, who ruled from 1799 to 1826. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the prince on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of copper and weighed 4.7 grams. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the colonial era of Portuguese India.
