    The first Portuguese Silver Reis (singular: real- which means royal), was introduced in 1380 by Ferdinand I. It was the unit of currency of Portugal from 1430 until 1911, replacing the dinheiro. The Portuguese silver reis coin had different denominations; 50 reis, 100 reis, 200 reis, 500 reis and 1000 reis. It was later replaced by the escudo as a result of the Republican revolution that took place in 1910. Coinage of the silver reis ceased after introduction of the euro.

    The reverse of the Portugal Silver Reis coin has the face value of the coin centrally inscribed, “200” with “REIS” just below the face value. A crown is directly above the face value and contains a cross, the Order of Christ cross, at the top. The Order of Christ was a Portuguese variant of the Crusader Knights Templar. Two wreaths, which are crossing each other, also tied at the base. Hence, one wreath is from the left while the other is from the right side.
