Comment
With the transfer of the Portuguese Crown to Brazil in 1808, an act was passed to enable a monetary authority in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Bahia to buy Hispanic 8 Reales and other foreign crowns of similar size and strike 960 Reis. Seven Patterns were made, with slight variations of metal and design.Interesting fact
The Pattern 960 Réis - João Prince Regent (Pattern) 1809 from Brazil, made of Silver, is a rare and valuable coin that was minted during a time of great change in Brazil's history. It was produced during the transition from a Portuguese colony to an independent empire, and features an image of João, the Prince Regent, on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. This coin is particularly interesting because it represents a turning point in Brazil's history, as the country began to assert its independence and establish its own identity.
