Interesting fact

The Cruzado - João III (1st type, Lisbon) ND (1521-1525) coin from Portugal made of Gold (.9426) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King João III of Portugal, who ruled from 1521 to 1557. The coin was minted in Lisbon and features an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. It was a significant coin during its time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
