Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tostão - Joao Prince Regent ND (1799-1801) from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the regency of João, Prince Regent, who ruled Portugal from 1799 to 1801 while his mother, Queen Maria I, was deemed unfit to rule due to her mental health issues. This period saw significant political and social upheaval, including the arrival of French troops in Portugal and the subsequent Peninsular War, which lasted from 1807 to 1814. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency during this time.
