Portugal 1713 10 reis

from the Mountain Groan Collection

In the old, predecimal system, 20 réis = one vinten, 24 vinténs = 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 type, struck in Lisbon 1712-21, is no exception.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: copper.

Catalog reference: KM 191.
