Law: Alvará 08JUN1643Interesting fact
The ½ Cruzado coin was minted during the reign of King João IV of Portugal, who ruled from 1643 to 1656. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver (.9167) and weighed 11.47 grams. Despite its relatively small size, the ½ Cruzado coin was an important part of the Portuguese currency system during that time, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
