    Nice! I remember as a kid being very excited that I could afford a coin from the 1700's. It was from Portugal, too.

    His big brother of the same year:

    Portugal 10 Reis 1764
    Copper, 33mm, 11.09gm, $2.00

    American metal detectors regularly find these coins and I wonder how many foreign copper coins circulated in the American colonies along with the known British copper coins and various copper tokens.

    @slimies your Portuguese copper is very nice for its age and the price you paid.
