Comment
Lot 66 from Auction 122Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Tornês Atípico - Ferdinand I (Lisboa) ND (1369-1371) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I, who ruled Portugal from 1367 to 1383. During his reign, Portugal was facing economic challenges due to the decline of the agricultural sector and the increase in the cost of living. To address these issues, King Ferdinand I introduced a new coinage system, which included the ½ Tornês Atípico coin, to help stabilize the economy and promote trade. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Portuguese people.
