Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ceitil - Manuel I (Group 4 - Without castle - Arabic lettering) ND (1495-1521) from Portugal made of Copper weighing 1.46 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Manuel I, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that existed during the Portuguese Renaissance.
