Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Cinquinho - Manuel I (Hybrid Manuel/João II) ND (1495-1521) coin from Portugal is that it features a unique blend of two different monarchs' portraits on its obverse side. The coin's design combines the image of King Manuel I, who ruled Portugal from 1495 to 1521, with that of King João II, who ruled from 1481 to 1495. This hybrid design was a result of a minting error and was not intentional, making it a rare and interesting variation in the coin's design.
