Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real - Manuel I (Porto) ND (1511) coin from Portugal is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Portuguese coat of arms, which was not commonly used on coins of that time. This shield was added to the coin to indicate that it was issued by the King of Portugal, Manuel I, and it distinguishes this coin from other coins issued by the same king.
