Interesting fact
The Ceitil coin was issued during the reign of King João II of Portugal, who ruled from 1481 to 1495. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an arched wall with battlements on the reverse side, which was a common design element in Portuguese coinage during this period. The battlements were added to the coin's design to symbolize the strength and fortification of the Portuguese kingdom.
