Interesting fact
The V Reis - Pedro Prince Regent 1682-1683 coin from Portugal was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Pedro II in 1682, which aimed to stabilize the Portuguese economy and simplify trade. The coin's design features an image of Prince Regent Pedro, who ruled Portugal from 1682 until his death in 1683, and the inscription "Pedro II Dei Gratia Rex" (Pedro II, King by the Grace of God). Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
