Interesting fact
The Ceitil coin was used as a form of currency in Portugal during the reign of King João II (1481-1495). It was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring a straight outside wall without battlements. This design was used for coins minted in the northern city of Ceitil, which was known for its rich copper deposits. The coin weighed 1.7 grams and was a standard circulation coin, meaning it was widely used in everyday transactions. Despite its small size, the Ceitil coin played an important role in the economy of Portugal during this time period.
