Interesting fact
The 1 Real Preto - João I ND (1415-1433) coin from Portugal was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a king, João I, on one side, and a cross on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional designs used on coins at the time, which often featured religious symbols or other motifs. The inclusion of the king's portrait was a sign of the growing power and influence of the Portuguese monarchy during the 15th century.
