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 distinctive design, featuring a long, low outside wall with battlements. This design was unique to the Ceitil coin and was not found on other coins of the time. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Ceitil coin played an important role in the economy of Portugal during this period. It was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the country's rich history and culture. Today, the Ceitil coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
