Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Barbuda - Ferdinand I (Porto) ND (1370-1371) from Portugal made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 4.3 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1370-1371, a period marked by the Hundred Years' War between England and France, as well as the Black Death, which had a significant impact on the population and economy of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, providing a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
