Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Cruzados - Filipe I ND (1584-1598) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip I, also known as Philip the Handsome, who was the first king of Portugal to bear the title "King of Portugal and the Algarves." This title reflected the expansion of Portuguese territories in North Africa and the Atlantic, and the coin's design likely reflects the wealth and power of the Portuguese Empire during this time.
