Comment
In 1688 the price of the gold ant the silver rise 20%. There was no time to collect and cast the circulating coin. Therefore, by the Law 04AUG1688, the value of the silver and gold coins was also increased 20%. However, during ~150 years the coinage remains unchanged with the circulating coins having a value ~20% above the face value.Interesting fact
The Quartinho coin was minted during the reign of Queen Maria I and King Pedro III of Portugal, who ruled jointly from 1777 to 1784. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of gold (.916) and weighed 2.69 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the effigies of both rulers on opposite sides, with Queen Maria I on the obverse (front) side and King Pedro III on the reverse (back) side. This unique design feature highlights the joint rule of the two monarchs during that period in Portuguese history.
