Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Cruzados "L-IIII" coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip III of Portugal, who ruled from 1621 to 1640. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, "Filipe III D.G. Hispaniarum Rex," which means "Philip III, by the grace of God, King of the Spains." The coin's gold content and weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
