<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 609669, member: 6647&quot;]The information I gave in the OP needs some modification.&nbsp; I was directed by a forum member to information that contradicts a key detail of my post.&nbsp; The coin called &#039;Novo Cruzado&#039; refers to an earlier coin of lesser denomination to the 960 Reis, but not to the coin I posted.&nbsp; The source I read was incorrect on that count.&nbsp; The appropriate name, besides 960 Reis, is patac<font face="Verdana"><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">ã</font></span>o, and refers to fact that it is worth 3 patacas as I describe in the OP.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also I should clarify that when D. Jo<span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">ã</font></span>o authorized the collection and revaluation of Spanish reales coins, he was not king but prince regent to the throne under his widowed mother.&nbsp; She died in 1816 and he became king, thus on the coin he is refered to as king of Portugal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
