Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the XX Réis "Vintem" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King João IV of Portugal, who ruled from 1644 to 1656. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The coin was minted in the city of Évora, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the 17th century. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gives it a high collectible value among numismatists today.
