Milrei

Milrei, or MILREA, a Portuguese silver coin and money of account, contains 1000 rees, and is valued at 4s. 5d. sterling. The coin is commonly known in Portugal as the corôa, or 'crown,' and is (since 24th April 1835) the unit of the money-system in that country. It is also used in Brazil. Coins of the values of a half-corôa, or half-milrei, as well as the one-fifth, one-tenth, and one-twentieth, are current in both countries as money of account.
