Interesting fact
The Cruzado - João IV (Lisboa) coin from Portugal, made of gold (.917) and weighing 3.1g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Portugal. João IV, who ruled from 1642-1647, was the first Portuguese king to issue a gold coin with his own name and title, and this coin was used to promote trade and commerce during his reign.
