What is another word for portuguese real?
Pronunciation: [pˌɔːt͡ʃəɡˈiːz ɹˈi͡əl] (IPA) 
The Portuguese real is the official currency of Portugal, which has been in use since the 15th century. It is also known by several other synonyms, including reis, milreis, and escudos. The word "reis" is derived from the Latin word "regis," which means "king." Milreis means "thousand reis," while escudos replaced reis as the official currency in the 20th century. The use of the Portuguese real as legal tender was abolished in 1911, and the currency was replaced by the escudo. However, the real remains widely used among collectors and numismatists. Regardless of what you call it, the Portuguese real has a rich history and remains an important part of Portugal's past and present.
