<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgenn, post: 7823462, member: 78525&quot;]For a few brief years (1837-1845) Portugal produced the coroa, a crown sized silver coin with a value of 1000 reis. In these years the coroa was 29.6 g, 36.5 mm and .917 fine silver. Subsequent issues would diminish to 25 g. These are scarce as they had low mintages. My example is from the last year in the series and had the largest mintage of 10,724. The portrait of Maria II is by William Wyon, official chief engraver at the Royal Mint from 1828 until his death in 1851</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1344437[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
