Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ceitil - Manuel I (Group 2 - Castle with splited outside wall) ND (1495-1521) from Portugal made of Copper weighing 1.9 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Manuel I, who was known for his efforts to expand Portugal's empire and promote its economy. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions during that time and could have been handled by merchants, traders, and other individuals living in Portugal or its colonies. Despite its small weight and value, it remains a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors today.
