Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ceitil - Sebastião I (Group 4- Circumference or just traces of it only on reverse) ND (1560-1565) from Portugal made of Copper weighing 1.5 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Sebastian I of Portugal, who was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his attempt to conquer Morocco. The coin's design, which features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as the Portuguese coat of arms, reflects the influence of the Renaissance style that was popular during this time period. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Portugal.
