Gold Coinage (18th Century): In the 18th century, Portugal became a significant producer of gold coins, particularly during the Brazilian gold rush in the Minas Gerais region.Gold coins, such as the Portuguese dobrão and the moeda, played a crucial role in financing Portugal's economy and colonial ventures. Monetary Reforms (19th Century): In the 19th century, Portugal underwent various monetary reforms aimed at modernizing its currency system and stabilizing the economy.In 1837, Portugal adopted the escudo as its official currency, replacing the real.
