(b) A Portuguese monetary unit with the value of one thousand reis (issued as a gold coin from 1582–1855, as a silver coin 1849–1910, and a banknote 1890–1929). Also known as the quartinho (until 1836), and subsequently as the coroa. (c) A Brazilian monetary unit with the value of one thousand reis (issued as a gold coin in 1787, as a silver coin 1849–1913, a base-metal coin 1922–39, and as a banknote 1890–1944).In the 17th cent. the Portuguese milreis was valued at between 13 and 14 English shillings. The milreis was replaced in Portugal by the escudo and in Brazil by the cruzeiro.
