Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin XXXX Réis "2 Vintens" - João IV (Lisboa) ND (1641-1656) from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portugal. The coin was minted during the reign of King João IV, who ruled from 1641 to 1656, a period marked by political instability, wars with Spain, and the restoration of Portuguese independence. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Portuguese numismatics and the country's rich history.
