Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin XXXX Reais - Filipe I ND (1582-1598) from Portugal made of Silver (.9166) weighing 3.4 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip I of Portugal, also known as Philip II of Spain, who ruled Portugal from 1582 until his death in 1598. This coin was likely used as a means of payment and exchange during his reign, and its silver content and weight would have made it a valuable and reliable form of currency at the time.
