Interesting fact

The coin was minted in Lisbon, which was the capital of Portugal at the time, and it features an image of King José I on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.22 grams, making it a relatively small coin. Despite its small size, the coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
