Laws: ORDEM 10OCT1668 and DECRETO 26OCT1668Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pedro Prince Regent 1668-1674 coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Pedro II, who was only a child at the time, and the country was being ruled by his regent, the Prince Regent Pedro. This period saw significant political and economic upheaval, including conflicts with Spain and the introduction of new currency reforms. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a unique piece of Portuguese history.
