Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 80 Réis - Pedro II coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Pedro II, who ruled Brazil from 1831 to 1889, and was a time of significant growth and modernization for the country. The coin's mintage was a result of the country's shift towards a more modern and centralized monetary system, and it was designed to replace the earlier, more irregularly minted coins that were in circulation at the time. Despite its small denomination, the 80 Réis coin was an important part of Brazil's currency system during this period and is now a sought-after collector's item.
