Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 800 Réis - João V (Goa) 1735-1743 coin from Mozambique is that it was minted during the reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were meant to circulate in the Portuguese colonies, including Mozambique. Despite being minted in the 18th century, this coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value today.
