Comment
Law: DECRETO 22JUL1676Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Portugal. The coin was issued during the reign of Pedro II, who was the Prince Regent of Portugal from 1676 to 1683. During this time, Portugal was experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the development of a new colonial empire and the introduction of new currency systems. Despite these changes, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used throughout Portugal.
