Coins of King Pedro V (1853-1861)

The coins of King Pedro V (1853-1861) reflect a short yet transformative reign marked by modernization, administrative reform and improvements in public health and infrastructure. Pedro V, known as “The Hopeful”, was born in 1837 and became the thirty‑second monarch of Portugal, admired for his reformist spirit and commitment to national progress. His marriage to Queen Stephanie of Hohenzollern was tragically brief, leaving a lasting emotional impact on the young king. The coinage of this period includes copper, silver and gold issues, featuring among their variants the legend PETRUS•V•PORTUG•ET•ALGARB•REX, and showcases refined iconography consistent with 19th‑century mechanical minting.
