One interesting fact about the Cruzado Calvario coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross with nails - which was a symbol of the Portuguese Empire during the reign of King João III. This design was used on several coins during his reign, but the Cruzado Calvario is one of the most well-known and sought-after examples.
