Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Lxxx Réis "4 Vintens" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King João IV of Portugal, who ruled from 1644 to 1656. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, known as the "Évora" series, named after the city where the mint was located. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 5 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
