I have just put 0.75 in value in advanced search, and ? have a look.

seems to pick up a lot of coins that are not 0.75, but stick with it.
Nice 75 cents from Cook Islands 2017. Also lots of 75 Pfennig from Germany

If you look down the first page, you will find lots of 1/3rd and 1/4 ducets, so that reduces the total somewhat. Only looked down part of the first page

There is one mentioned on this list of unusual denominations:

You can find it in the Numista catalog:

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.

But isnt the reis the unit? Or is it a fraction of a unit?

They are multiples of 6, 12, 15 and 20.
(5x12 = 60 - 5x15 = 75 - 4x20 = 80, etc ...)

The calculation in base 10 is quite recent in the monetary scale.

It looks like Reis is the unit indeed, so 80 Reis is not 0,80 of something else.

Coincidentally, last week I obtained a porcelain 75 pfennig from Grünberg (1922, German notgeld).
This is not the unit, 75 pfennig = 0,75 Marks, so that counts as between 0,50 and 1 I suppose.

Coins denominated in multiple currencies can sometimes get pretty weird values. For example, this coin has a denomination of 5 zloty = 3/4 ruble.

My favourite ones of these are the British colonial issues

A THIRD of a QUARTER of a penny!
You'd need 12 of these to make one penny!

(the 1 and a half pence coin is also cool because it's silver and TINY!)
