Commentary

La loi du 31 mai 1882 modifie les monnaies portugaises de 5, 10 et 20 Reis. Elles sont désormais frappées sur des coins de bronze de moindre diamètre et les légendes ne sont plus en latin mais en langue portugaise..
The law of May 31, 1882, amended the Portuguese 5, 10, and 20 Reis coins. They were now struck on smaller bronze dies, and the legends were no longer in Latin but in Portuguese.
