Portugal 3, 5, 10, and 20 Reis 1840 to 1879

Portugal minted copper coins in 3, 5, 10, and 20 reis denominations from 1840 to 1892. After 1882 these coins bore a likeness of Luiz I, but before that time only an ornate shield appeared on the front side of the coin. Here is a summary of catalog value for the shielded coins:
