Carlos I (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkaɾɫuʃ]; English: Charles I) the Diplomat (also known as the Martyr; Portuguese: o Diplomata and o Martirizado; 28 September 1863 – 1 February 1908) was the King of Portugal and the Algarves. He was the first Portuguese king to die a violent death since Sebastian of Portugal (1578). This occurred in 1908, when D. Carlos was murdered in Lisbon as he travelled in an open carriage with the royal family.

MACUTA (1837) 50.2 ARMS C/S ON 1786 1/2M 50.2
|
NGC VF 30 BN
|
Composition: Copper
Countermark: Crowned arms
Note: Countermark on 1/2 Macuta, KM#28.
The Obverse shows a crowned globe with the legend:
JOSEPHUS I REX P.ET.D. GUINE
This very large copper 1 Macuta from 1786 was countermarked in 1837 with a deep crowned escutcheon. The countermark doubled the coin’s value.
The Portuguese arrived on the coast of what is now called Angola back in the late 15th Century. By 1575 the Portuguese explorer Paulo Dias de Novais had founded Luanda as “São Paulo de Loanda” and confirmed their occupation of the coastline. They were primarily interested in slaves.
From 1575 to 1820 over a million people were taken as slaves to Brazil and North America by the Portuguese... ” For 200 years, the colony of Angola developed essentially as a gigantic slave-trading enterprise”(1) Jesuit priests came too, in the wake of military conquest and slave-taking, bent on wholesale conversion.

Maria I (English: Mary I) (17 December 1734 – 20 March 1816) was Queen of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves. Known as Maria the Pious (in Portugal), or Maria the Mad (in Brazil), she was the first undisputed Queen regnant of Portugal. With Napoleon's European conquests, her court, then under the direction of Prince Dom João, the Prince Regent, moved to the then Portuguese colony of Brazil. Later on, Brazil would be elevated from the rank of a colony to that of a Kingdom, with the consequential formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves
