Law: DECRETO 22JUL1676Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the LXXX Réis "4 Vintens" coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portugal. The coin was issued during the reign of Pedro II, who was the Prince Regent of Portugal from 1677 to 1683. During this time, Portugal was facing economic and political challenges, including a series of wars with neighboring countries and a major earthquake that struck Lisbon in 1755. Despite these challenges, the LXXX Réis "4 Vintens" coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, and its design has become iconic of Portuguese numismatics.
