Law: DECRETO 02APR1672Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the LXXX Réis "4 Vintens" coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Portugal. The coin was minted during the reign of Pedro II, who was the Prince Regent of Portugal from 1672 to 1677. During this time, Portugal was facing economic challenges due to a series of wars with neighboring countries, and the government was working to reform the currency and stabilize the economy. The LXXX Réis "4 Vintens" coin was part of these efforts, as it was issued to replace an earlier coin that had been devalued due to inflation. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
