The pict is from Numisma, Aution Nr 126Interesting fact
The 4 Cruzados "LB-IIII" coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of King Philip II (1598-1621), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on coins of this denomination. This cross is believed to have been added as a symbol of the king's devotion to Christianity and his efforts to promote the Catholic Church.
