One interesting fact about the ½ Tornês de Busto - Ferdinand I (Porto) ND (1371-1383) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I, who ruled Portugal from 1371 to 1383. This was a period of great political and social unrest, as the country was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout Portugal, and its design has been well-preserved to this day.
