Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Cruzados - João IV (Lisboa) 1642-1652 coin from Portugal is that it was issued during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. João IV, who ruled from 1642 until his death in 1652, was the first Portuguese king to rule after the restoration of Portuguese independence from Spain.

The 4 Cruzados coin, with its gold content and intricate design, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Portugal during this time.
