Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "80 Reais" coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of King Philip I (Filipe I) between 1582 and 1598, is that it was one of the first coins to feature a standardized design and denomination across different regions of the Portuguese Empire. This was a significant innovation in coinage at the time, as it helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the empire by ensuring that coins had a consistent value and could be easily recognized and accepted. The coin's design featured an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other, and it was made of silver with a purity of .9167.
