Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, who was also known as Ferdinand the Handsome. He was a member of the House of Aviz and ruled Portugal from 1367 until his death in 1383. During his reign, he worked to strengthen the Portuguese economy and military, and this coin was likely used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce during that time.
