Comments
In 1688 the price of the gold ant the silver rise 20%. There was no time to collect and cast the circulating coin. Therefore, by the Law 04AUG1688, the value of the silver and gold coins was also increased 20%. However, during ~150 years the coinage remains unchanged with the circulating coins having a value ~20% above the face value.
Therefore, the real value of this coin is 12000 Réis, and not 10000 as shown on the face.
Therefore, the real value of this coin is 12000 Réis, and not 10000 as shown on the face.
