Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ceitil - Sebastião I coin is that it was issued during a time of great change in Portugal. The coin was minted during the reign of King Sebastian I, who ruled from 1557 to 1560. This was a period of significant cultural, economic, and political transformation in Portugal, as the country was experiencing a growth in trade and commerce, as well as an expansion of its empire. The coin's design, which features the king's name and title in Latin, reflects the influence of the Renaissance and the growing importance of the Portuguese Empire during this time.
