Portugal. Maria & Pedro III (1777-1786). 200 Reis - 1784 (No reserve price)

The 200 Reis coin from 1784 featuring Queen Maria I and King Pedro III of Portugal represents the late 18th-century coinage of the Portuguese monarchy. Maria I was notable as the first undisputed queen regnant of Portugal, with Pedro III as her consort. The Reis was a fundamental currency unit, with the 200 Reis coin often minted in copper or bronze alloys. Coins from this joint reign may show combined royal portraits or symbolic motifs representing both monarchs’ authority. This period was one of relative stability before the upheavals of the Napoleonic era. Collectors interested in Portuguese monarchical history often seek these coins for their representation of royal partnerships and the material culture of 18th-century Portugal.
