Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Afonso V of Portugal, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Portuguese economy. The coin's design, which features a castle with small towers and a high wall, may reflect the king's efforts to fortify the country's defenses and protect its borders.
