This specimen was lot 1386 in Stephen Album sale 30 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2018), where it sold for $211.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "PORTUGAL: Maria I, 1786-1799, AR 80 reis, ND, hairlined surface, lovely toning, NGC graded MS64." In the old, predecimal system, 20 réis = one vintém, 24 vintéms = one cruzado and 1600 réis = one escudo. Portuguese copper coins of the 1700's turn up occasionally but are generally in poor condition after several centuries of circulation. This silver type, struck in Lisbon without date during the sole reign of Maria I, is scarce in nice condition.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver.
