Portugal, silver coin of 12 Vinténs (240 Réis), dated 1707, Lisbon mint, World Coins Portugal KM181, scarce in high grade
Portuguese silver coin of 12 Vinténs (240 Réis), dated 1707 and minted in Lisbon during the reign of D. João V. This specimen features a 4-arched crown with pendants (type 1) and a beaded cross, corresponding to the Alberto Gomes classification (J5.73.01) and World Coins Portugal KM#181.
It is a rare piece, with variants not yet fully studied in numismatic literature, and seldom found on the market, particularly in higher states of preservation.
A significant historical example of early 18th-century Portuguese silver coinage, struck during the reign of King João V (1706–1750), known as “The Magnanimous,” whose era reflects royal wealth and prestige.
