Comment
Coin MCM 18374 from INCM museumInteresting fact
This coin was designed by the Portuguese artist and engraver, José da Silva, and it features a portrait of King Luiz I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of Portugal surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin was minted in 1880 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
