Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Vintém – Afonso VI ND (1656-1662) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. Afonso VI was the King of Portugal from 1656 until his death in 1662, and his reign was marked by political instability and conflicts with Spain. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Portugal continued to be minted, and the ½ Vintém coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
