IT IS THE COIN THAT ILLUSTRATES THE AlBERTO GOMES CATALOGUEInteresting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the "III-L" mint mark, which represents the royal coat of arms of King Sebastian I of Portugal. This mint mark was only used during his reign (1557-1578) and is a distinctive feature of coins from this period.
