Interesting fact
The Pattern Dobra 16 Escudos coin was minted during the reign of King João V of Portugal in 1731. It was a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but was instead created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. The coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. Despite its status as a pattern coin, the Dobra 16 Escudos is still highly sought after by collectors today due to its rarity and historical significance.
