Comment
This coin is now (2023) part of the NOVO BANCO colectionInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Cruzados "IIII-L" or "L-IIII" coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip II (Filipe II) in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and it features an unusual design element - the king's name and title are written in both Latin and Portuguese on opposite sides of the coin. This unique feature highlights the blending of cultures and languages during this time period in Portugal's history.
